Plastic Primer For Painting QFR Case
« on: Sun, 08 September 2013, 01:50:22 »
So I've been thinking about getting a replacement case for my QFR that's hopefully coming this week. Since I was going to get a replacement case, I thought I might as well paint it. After a few hours of looking for a plastic primer, I finally found a few products that could work. I'm not sure which would work best with the QFR case, so I decided to ask you guys. I have access to two primers, black or red, as well as an adhesion promoter. Has anyone had any experience with any or all of these products and mind telling me how you feel about the products?

Thank you, but I'm posting here as I've already talked to people from there, and have been told to just post in the DIY subforum.

I used Rustoleum to paint my CM Trigger, but I didn't use primer or adhesion booster.  No issues with paint sticking, I'm pretty impressed with Rustoleum products.

One note I've seen on the QFR painting thread; a solid color primer can help darken/lighten a topcoat color, depending on your desired goal.  Something to keep in mind as you plan out the paint job.
