Hi im in the uk. What's the best spray paint to use on a proton pack

Hi, I think most of the proton packs are made from resin or plastic, so the way i would paint them is with a plastic primer then ordinary car paint or plastikote do a range of sprays to paint straight onto plastic. Halfords do the plastic primer or b&q for the plastikote.

I'm yet to paint a fibreglass shell, but I found the spray paints sold by Halfords very satisfactory. :)

Halfords satin black
Halfords grey primer

I believe those are the colours and paints I've seen highly recommended by a lot of people...These are what I believe is what I believe Nick-A-Tron uses and his painting skills are one of the best I've seen.

You need a special primer for any metal parts you may be painting although for some of my metal items I'm not going to bother priming as I don't believe the original packs had primed metal parts.

If any of your parts are aluminium you will need to use etch primer. This bites into the metal and gives a good adhesion coating, before you prime be sure to give the metal a good clean, normally a light sanding with 240 paper is good enough. Aluminium begins to oxidise in a very short time.
