Painting Resin

Post by redfive »

Was looking to use an aftermarket resin cockpit for the first time. Never worked with resin before. Would like to know if you treat it differently when it comes to painting. Or is it the same as plastic. Looking to get cracking on a Hasegawa 1/72 F-15e Strike Eagle. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

PAy attention, you have to degrease the parts. simply wash it in saopy water or sometimes you can use acetone.

For painting just treat it the same as plastic, I've never had an issue with priming and painting resin. As Goose has said just make sure you give the parts a good wash as the resin process uses allot of mould release agents.
