I have not got my airbrush yet but want to get some questions out the way so i can get rolling when i do get it. I also will be painting a Gaming controller with regular spray paint and one with an airbrush so i can see the differenc.
I have read and seen videos of different ways people prep plastic for painting and want to see if im on the right track or missing a step or something..
My steps would be this:
1. Wash thoroughly with soap and water
2. Take a 3M Scotch pad to scuff up the plastic (now question on this, My controller is originally black and its what i will be using for my base coat, so after i take the pad to it, will i have to give it a Black base coat again or can i still use the original paint on it? will scratches show up from the 3M pad??) make sense??
3. Some people say to take degreaser and clean off the plastic. (necessary?)
4. get parts completely dry
5. apply my paint mask (using simple positive mask for this project)
6. apply Adhesion Promoter (is this needed when using airbrush paint?)
7. apply coats of paint
8. peel off mask
9. apply seal
do these steps sound about right for either painting method?
thanks
