Krylon Fusion

[Druna Skass]

I just saw an ad for Krylon Fusion spray paint, they said it's supposed to chemicaly bond to plastic. Would this be suitable for use on model kits?

I wouldn't think so

[David Hingtgen]

My guess is that it'd turn any kit into a puddle of goo. Regular krylon eats plastic, can't imagine what the plastic-bonding stuff'd do

NEVER use Krylon on models. It dries into a thick skin. It's totally unsuitable.

I used some of this stuff on an Xmod. It takes it about a week to thouroghly dry. Handle it within the first two or three days, and it will never dry.

i called krylon about this and a big issue is that no other paint will stick to the fusion line, so no 2nd colors or clearcoat for your decals.....

I was considering using Krylon Fusion for a toy custom (not a scale model), and found your recent post. I was going to use two colors of the Fusion paint on this toy, but now wonder if I would need to mask off the different colored sections and paint them separately (rather than painting the second color over the first). You note that no other paint will stick to dried Fusion; do you know if different layers of Fusion paint will adhere to one another (after drying)? Sorry for the silly question.

Thanks for the info,

What Krlon told me is that fusion paint will stick to fusion paint, however there is a window of opportunity to do this and I can't remember exactly what it is. Call the 800 # on the back of the can, they were pretty helpful. Like I said the real issue is that a clear coat will not stick well, so if you are applying decals they will be unprotected, if they even stick...adhesion backed stickers should not be an issue. I have a can and was planning on playing around with it a bit, I will post some results when I get around to playing with it.

my opinion = no

use Motomaster or Duplicolor if you want a large fine automotive primer (fine enough to use on good models.

It dosen't turn models into goo

Hi there... New to this board but I have used Fusion paint, allot!

I have painted models, replica movie props and Star Wars armor for costumes with it. The only problem I have had is using the white, but I was putting it on a X-Wing helmet. This problem was more the item I was using it on than the paint.

Here is a picture of one of the models I have used fusion on:

This is a Star Wars TIE Fighter Pilot helmet I have done using Fusion black, the grey and green are not Fusion and I have had no issues using other paint on top of it:
