How to Paint Plastic Toys
- 1). Choose a Krylon Fusion color for your item. There are approximately 16 colors to choose from at most hardware and paint stores.
- 2). Wash the item that you want to paint with dish soap and let it dry.
- 3). Sand the item lightly with medium-grit sandpaper and wash it again. Let it thoroughly dry and use masking tape on any areas that you don't want to paint.
- 4). Put on a pair of protective gloves. Apply two light coats of adhesion promoter. This product is found in most hardware and paint stores and can be used as a base coat to ensure proper adhesion. Coats dry quickly, but make sure the surface is not tacky before you apply the next coat. Apply a third coat of adhesion promoter.
- 5). Wait about three minutes and then spray the item with the first coat of your Krylon Fusion color. Let it thoroughly dry for about one hour. Spray a second light coat of paint color and let it dry overnight.
- 6). Spray your item with Krylon Fusion clear coat to lock in the paint color. This is specially formulated to work as a complementary top coat for Krylon Fusion plastic paints and will help prevent chips and cracks in the future. Leave the top coat to dry for about 12 hours before handling.
