Repainting an Astro City Cab

Post by Dave_K. »

I've been working on this stupid project since mid December, and finally got around to finishing it because of the upcoming San Jose shmupmeet this Saturday. In short, I completely disassembled my Astro City 2 and attempted to repaint it with Krylon Fusion. Bad idea as although Krylon Fusion says it will molecularly bond to any plastic, it does NOT bond to plexiglass. I tried to protect it somewhat by adding a clear acrylic spray but it still scratches very easily (something Krylon advertises it shouldn't do).

Anyway, here is the finished product. More pics and details are posted in my BYOAC thread. Notice the before pics at the top of the thread where it looks like someone had puked under the control panel. Nasty.
