So I never got a solid response from the last time, so as they say try try try again. Anyone have personal experience or concrete knowledge of what available options there are paints-wise that will work on the Surlyn bodywork? I know from Dupont's web site that their Chroma system should work, but I want to know what other options are available to me before I start moving in any particular direction. Thanks! | ||

Any sort of automotive paint from the carrepairsystems will do,they've a primer for a good adhesion for the paint onto the plastics. | ||

someone posted a link/PDF about the DuPont paint system for use with the Surlyn. | ||

just got my finished....house of color works great. sanded with 1500 grit and then primer and paint. i did a little more than just a solid color, but its all the same....i have a pic in my profile | ||

Got two options now, Thanks Trev. Did you have to use any special adhesive agent from house of kolor, or just the part a/b primer mix? Misato, you're planning on going with the Dupont Chroma System right? How soon are you planning on doing that? | ||

no special adhesive stuff....just scuff it up good and spray away!!! dupont is good stuff too!! just not the color options i wanted. good luck!!  | ||

yeah, chromabase.. not sure when but at least within the next month or 2. duponts site said to use red scotch brite, but I had already started sanding with 600 wet. I'll go over it with some finer stuff then prime and paint. | ||
