[OldPaint]

i dont do airbrush on vinyl...........i do KRYLON on vinyl. cut then paint then weed)))))

enamel receptive will take 1shot...it will also take matthews if you first apply their bonding agent...

what KRYLON product though... i'm looking at the website

i have had success with krylon out of the can on vinyl - through an airbrush. just spray it into a cup and pour it into your airbrush cup. regular krylon, not the plastic adhesion stuff. it's pretty agressive paint. then clear over it with frog juice. it works nice. have done vehicle graphics that held up pretty damn long. even some hood graphics. i have had much success with house of colors urethane striping enamel thinned down and sprayed through an airbrush. it is really nice paint with great coverage. a little catalyst in there and it dries pretty quick, so under some conditions you may want to use a retarder.there again , clear with frog juice. watch you dont apply too much paint material -just enough to get the desired effect.

Gino,

4x12 banner, customer wants some flames on it, and i thought about cutting yellow vinyl and spraying some orange and red on it to get the gradient effect of flames

+1 for Krylon spray.

I like to use the Auto-Air water based airbrush paint

ya mean like this? krylon on oracal 651.

 

[Gino]

Use the Krylon for plastics and paint the vinyl first. Once its good and dry..... cut it and weed only when you are ready to put it down. Try not to use application tape. It sometimes lifts edges.

 

[AUTO-FX]

if you spray / wet the app tape good before you peel it off, it wont pull any paint off. good point , Gino.

 

[AUTO-FX]

one more thing - wipe down the vinyl with alcohol before you run it through your plotter.

If you knew how that method got the name you'd be laughing your butt off. Don't ask, cause I can't repeat it on these threads.


Butch is back and doing pretty good again.
