Long time no post.
I'm in the middle of restoring an old toy and I need to start painting but I don't know what the best approach is yet.
One piece is pewter die-cast the other is common toy plastic. I'm going to paint them both white with blue in the middle of the flat part.
My tools will be primer, gloss white spray, blue spray and acrylic model paint.
Should I just pray the white directly on the metal, then blue on top once dry?
Should I prime first, then spray.
Should I prime before both colors. So it's prime, white, prime, blue?
Would acrylics run on plastic? On Primer? I would use the acrylic model paints if my blue spray is not quite the color I want.
Should I clean the metal and/or plastic with alcohol first?
Should I not spray the plastic white? Or should I to maintain color consistency?
How long should I wait between sprays?
Lots of questions I know, but I want to cover all my bases.
