Acrylikhan Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Okay, here's the skinny. For painting mine own rubies, I used KRYLON FUSION Gloss white. The kicker to getting good paint adhesion to the vinyl is the prep work before you paint. Follow the direction on the can- use either paint thinner or a good strong ammonia cleaner to remove any dirt dust and oil and grease from the surface. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get some vinyl gloves while you handle the bucket. The better news is that Fusion will polish to a bright finish if you get areas of overspray or micro fisheye. You should wait the full seven days for the paint to fully cure, but the results can be quite nice! BEFORE: AFTER: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
