Painting 700 series phone
Has anyone had any experience doing this. I have experienced in the passed spray paint melting some plastics.
Any advice please. Thanks |

Re: Painting 700 series phone
I can well imagine cellulose-based paints having that effect.

Re: Painting 700 series phone
You can get 'isolating paint' to stop things reacting.

Re: Painting 700 series phone
Would that be plastic primer?

No, isolating paint.

Re: Painting 700 series phone
As long as the phone's not going to see heavy use, water-based acrylic paint should be durable enough, and won't react with the plasic. Be careful to degrease well before application, though.
For comparison, I refurbished my steering wheel with acrylic a year or so ago, and it's showing no signs of wear yet. |

Re: Painting 700 series phone
I was in homebase earlier and they have (next to the furniture paints) various spray tins of allsorts and I saw this. Was looking at this myself, Various colours.
