how long does it take for spray paint to dry

If you canÂ’t sand it, its best to use a fiberglass etch primer, for good results. This can then be painted with model acrylics without problem.įor fiberglass it needs cleaning well first to remove the mould release wax, and if you can lightly sand it with 1200 grade wet n dry paper you can spray with most primers and it will key well. When dry can be over painted with model acrylic.ĪBS, UPVC, and other very shiny flexible plastics (except polycarbonate) an automotive plastic bumper primer is best.

If itÂ’s metal, a etch primer should be used and these can now be bought in a can from car spares shops for ease of use. I have been spraying stuff for the last 20 years and have sprayed most things, (including girlie chests ) but everyone has their own opinion, so its up to you. One of the biggest mistakes is the wrong primer on the wrong surface. You say you the tape is pulling off the paint and primer, so I am guessing the surface has not been cleaned properly, or the primer is unable to key to the surface. Repainting an old item, that has been handled gets a grease build up on the surface, and this can cause imperfection in the finished paint job as well, so always wash reguadless of new or old. Most things should be cleaned in a warm washing up liquid rich water, to remove any surface grease prior to painting then rinse well, (shower head works a treat,) and left overnight to dry properly.

Your have to forgive me as I am unsure what a sidious v2 is made from, but pending surface preparation to how well the paint sticks.
