Anyone know how to paint unpaintable plastic. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unpaintable_plastic
I ran into an issue customizing the Adventure Force jeep, the tan sleeper assembly on the roof is completely made of unpaintable plastic. Nothing I have binds to it, I've tried a black spray primer, several types of spray paint, gesso, acrylic paints, and even modpodge. This stuff is like teflon nothing sticks to it at all and it starts peeling off with the slightest touch. Every thing I've tried just peels off it in solid strips like it has been soaked in acetone, I've never encountered anything like it before. You might give this a try:

Or lightly sand the whole thing and see if the texture gives the paint something to cling to.

give self etching primer a shot.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dark-Gree...12-oz/16816075 i had some plastic from a poster frame i was using as a panel on a ship build and i 1: didnt want to sand it and put gouges into it 2: didnt think anything would stick to it because it was so smooth. so i gave that a shot and it worked really well. i even messed up the top coat a few times and the primer stayed on after paint removal. another hting you might want to try is wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol. in a "i'll show you who's boss" manner, after it dries do the self etching primer. |

I don't know if the size will work but Jurassic Park's Amber Collection Robert Muldoon has a similar hat to Recondo.
