Krylon Paint for plastic

I use Krylon 'ruddy brown primer' and their gray primer for G scale plastic rolling stock - both redecorated Delton, Bachamnn, MDC and LGB plastics, as well as scratch built plastic, wood, and metal rolling stock. The ruddy brown primer closely matches many narrow gauges' boxcar red, especially after it had been on a freight car for awhile. The gray is great for MOW equipment. I'll spray Testors' clear gloss over it before decaling, then weather it and then use Dullcoat. If I'm using dry transfers or decopaging logos -like labels off of tincans and bottles, I'll apply directly onto the primered surface, then weather and dust w/ Dullcoat to seal in the lettering, and pastels and washes used for weathering. <br /> <br />Krylon's Fusion paint line is being used by scale auto modelers with some success according to topics posted on Kalmbach's Scale Auto Forum. They're painting styrene plastic and resin with it. Suggest you surf on over to that Forum and look under the section dealing w/ painting techniques. Lot's of good info isolated into one section, and therefore easy to access, without hunting all over a Forum site.
