well since the topic is paint.... anyone knows a brand of spray paint that has a lot of colors, like lets say blue, then has a metalllic blue, and sky blue, dark blue. I mean in many shades of the color.
im using krylon spray cans(multi-purpose paint) and it seems they only have solid colors without the other shade or degree of that color.
any brand that i can use multi-purpose would be great(ie. for metal, plastic, PVC, ans such) would be great.
thanks

CautionI forgot to tell you[glow=red,2,300] DON"T USE THIS PRODUCT ON ANY PLASTIC THAT COMES FROM A TOY. IT WILL MELT THE PLASTIC INSTANTLY[/glow] As for the PX-01 I did a color change on mine. I did a gunmetal black. I made a thread along time ago. The thread was one of the threads lost when R-J was updated. I only have a few pictures and none of the finished product........... If I have time i will upload the pictures that I have ohh boy, i need something that plastic can withstand, im trying to get a paint out of this robot mixed diecast and plastic.... anything else you can suggest?

TO: RAYAR / and Mannix143O.K this is from personal experience. Don't use break fluid. Break fluid takes a really long time to dissolve the enamel paint. Break fluid in oil base so you really have to clean it good to get the new paint to stick. It really does not do a good job anyways. Really messy. You can use a dremel to take of the paint off, but you will need several polishing wheels. The wheels wear out fast. And you have to get 2 different grits. one to remove the paint, the other to remove the scratch ,marks made by the first grit wheel. Also they are not cheep at $10 for a 2 pack.Also really dusty. You will also need some eye protection and a mask. Trust me . The best thing that i was able to find was , Automotive paint striper.You can get it at any auto store,or walmart.This stuff is extremely strong. The paint will come right off. Its also water base so that means no oily mess. Also the way you clean it off is with water. here is a picture of the product i used. thanks 95 thats great news for me ^_^ and i like that PX-01 pilder you have at the background hehehe

i think break fluid is not that strong here in US, not like in the philippines, i pour it on someones car here before, didnt do nothing, poured it on our metal stand, not even a stain. maybe im wrong but thats my observation. ^_^

thanks bro, its just hard during winter here in nyc that you dont have space to paint or else the whole apartment will smell of it, knowing the apartments here are small, i have a small space outside to do it, but i dont want to ruin the paint job because of temp conditions.
thanks everyone

dude, i was at pearl paint this morning at canal street, i was buying some sculpting clay when i something caught my eye, i saw a product that says, brush on 40, brushable rubber compound made by Smooth-on, i didnt get to read the full details bec. i was so sleepy and just dragging my feet to go up and down and just want to get home. .... im not sure about whats it for, but my first impression is maybe its for casting rubber? and theres another one that you can cast plastic, nothing much on the box to say what really is about.if what i think is true, then you can cast a plastic like a jumbo or something. i will try to research more on it, but now, gotta sleep. ^_^
