painting ABS

[Billh]

What do you guys use to paint you hulls? Type of paint ie.

Model Masters and RC Car Finish almost exclusively. Clear topcoat is usually epoxy.

Hi Bill!

I've had good luck with the Krylon brand (K-Mart, get it while you can) sprays - grey primer, then white or other color, topped by Crystal Clear - all are Krylon brand. Have used it on both ABS and fiberglass. It dries very quickly so you can lay down several coats in a night. Have fun!

If you like Purple I have used Purple PVC primer to paint 2 of my ABS hulls. First hull was by accident when I spilt the primer gluing in a homemade abs transom support. It looked good so I coated the hole boat. Other wise I airbrush with Testors R/C paints.
