Title: Paint for depron?? Post by: Jatayu on November 21, 2010, 03:49:04 PM Hello all!! ;D
I wanted to know wat is the best commonly available paint suitable for use on laminated depron foam :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:.... By commonly available, i mean easy to get anywhere and not like spray paints and spray guns etc!! Thank you, Skanda Title: Re: Paint for depron??

I want the lamination, its helpful during bending areas and all... Title: Re: Paint for depron?? Post by: tg on November 21, 2010, 07:40:03 PM If your lung power is good then ordinary sketch pens are good. Remove the cap at the rear end and blow hard and you get a "blow-powered" air brush. Or fabric paints with the "thinner" that comes with it. That won't peel off.

Yes, these colors settle well, but leave a kind of stickiness behind. The stickness will stay for a long time but eventually become very weak in 10-15 days. The best part is .. incase your model gets a bit dirty (like fingerprints or some dust /dirt) you can easily wipe it off with a moist duster and it will be like new without fading/removing the paint. :) Hope it helps :) |
