Detail hose joints

[Redstaff]

Just a quick question or 2 about painting resin A/N hose fittings for detaling some F1 caes

I have bought some of these in resin and have got clear blue and red for the finish 

Now for the questions, 

1, what primer would you use for resin, I usually use MIG ammo 1 shot for other plastics and etch primer for PE 

2, what base coat? Usually for metallics I would use gloss black under metallics etc, but it seems to be divided on this between black and silver base coats on these

 

Many thanks

It depends on the resin. Polyurethane generally needs grey automotive primer, polyester (after a quick laqueur solvent dip) can take colourcoat direct. Once you've prepped it, a coat of silver and then clear colour. You might also want to try blue and red sharpies  - they look good too.

Thanks, never thought of sharpies to be honest, might be easier than masking on the little ones
