hey guys I'm about to start painting my a arms and other stuff orange I was just woundering if testors model paint will work I found a color I like but can't find it in krylon also should I prime the black platic before painting in orange thanks

You will get the color to cover better if you prime first. Make sure you scuff the plastic really good first. It's hard to get paint to adhere to plastics.

The adhesion is key. If you use a primer designed for plastic, then you should be ok.

Depends on what you're painting. The suspension arms flex, so it'll probably chip. Testor's is good stuff, though.

I used Rust-Oleum paint for plastic on my beadlock rings, and they're holding up great.

You can get a plastic prep at most auto paint stores that helps a lot.works good on bumpers and interior plastic parts.

You'll have to look at your local hardware store, dude. Different stores carry different colors.
