How can I paint these rubber parts (pipes or power conductors) without the paint coming off? I just tried priming them but it was no good bc when I bended it. The primer cracks so now I have them soaking in windex so I can get the primer off (Mr surface 1000) I don’t wanna use laquer thinner or else it will melt the parts. Any paint that will stick without cracking? Or any techinque? Thanks in advance.
you need a flexible paint. latex paint should do the trick. ive never used latex on gunpla before but it is a flexible paint so it should flex without cracking. nice doga btw, looking very sharp
Latex paint will work, but you may not get the desired effect you want if you intention is to get a metallic look. If you want them to look more metallic, I suggest getting some after market metal detail parts.
