Paintable plastic parts are ABS plastic parts.
Painting
Rigid or hand ABS plastic needs no primer coating.
General acrylic lacquers can be painted properly over hard ABS plastic in terms of adherence.
1) Use cleaning solvent for paint finish to wash each part.
2) Apply conventional acrylic color lacquer to part surface.
3) Follow lacquer directions for required drying time. (Proper drying temperature range is 60 – 70 °C (140 – 158 ° F)).
Reference
Plastic parts employ not only ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic but also polypro pylene, vinyl, or the like
plastic. Burning test method to iden tify ABS plastic is described below.
1) Use a sharp blade to cut off a plastic sliver from the part at its hidden backside.
2) Hold sliver with pincer s and set it on fire.
3) Carefully observe condition of the burning plastic.
4) ABS plastic must raise readily dist inguishable back smoke while burning with its residue suspended in air
temporarily.
5) Polypropylene must raise no readily distinguishable smoke while burning.
