Hey 'Tankers,
I was reading some techniques used by Jeremy Sung (Custom Action Figures by Jeremy Sung - Customizing FAQ at the very bottom) to seal his custom projects, and it sounds like a really appealing idea to use automotive paints on Joes, especially as a sealer/protective coat. Has anyone ever experimented with "Plasti-kote" automotive sprays, particularly the 'clear' brand as a sealer? I have noticed some people using automobile paints with mixed results, and want to try it... but it could be like enamel for all I know - melting my figures or giving them a nice surface layer of tar. XD Thanks in advance for any insight you guys might have, Tom |

I dont know why you couldnt use them. Those "automotive paints" like Plasti-kote or any of the other aresol brands that you can buy at Walmart or retail stores are usually lacquers.
REAL automotive paint, (urethanes) like in basecoat/clear coat 2 stage paint are solvant based and are a whole different animal. You will defintely damage your action figures with those. |
