Has anyone painted the coating? Trying to see if it can replace the pricier PlastiDip. I use it to seal foam on costume projects.

I use the 3m coating for the undercoating for my jeep cherokee. works great I give it 5 stars. This works better than anything I have ever used.

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

Should Be Ok To Plasti-Dip. Just Be Sure To Clean All Surfaces And Do A Final Wipe With Denatured Alcohol.

Haven't tried it for this application. Suggestions might be to use Rust-0-leum first and then spay on lacquer.

The surface is pretty smooth and would not take paint well. However, if you could find a primer that would bond with plastic well, then I bet you could paint it.

This is a terrific cement and the metal spout makes it easy use in tight corners. Generally it would be best to remove the paint if possible, otherwise it should take, even to the painted surface but not as strongly as an unpainted one. These cements usually weld (sort of melt) two plastic surfaces together. I recommend you try it out first on an experimental piece with likewise painted surface first.

Did you end up painting it? I was having the exact same thought, so I'm happy to see someone else had that idea. Would love to know how it turned out if you did it.

Yes, Fusion spray paint made by Krylon does give a nice glossy finish. Easy to apply and works well on plastic surfaces. Covers very well depending on the color of the item you are painting.

I personally have never tried that but I have seen this product - Resin Craft Surface Coat Spray - Fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. Ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces. I would be interested to see if that works. It is from Environmental Technology.

I have not. The paint looks like enamel...which is really glass powder that is baked on at really high temperatures. Mine has a finish that still looks brand-new. L~

I am the same as the other 2 ppl here. Mines still as beautiful as the day I did it. I agree give ample time to let it cure. I gave it many top coats to be sure its well protected.

I did just that this weekend. I put two thick coats of HNR then used dynamat extreme and it stuck very well. The only advice I could give is... make sure the surface is painted before applying HNR. You will see rust bleed through the next day if you don't. Happy sound deadening!

My only experience with this particular type of "Great Stuff" is from indoor use. It seems to be almost exactly the same as the other 3 or 4 types of "Great Stuff" which I have used outside when it was below freezing, the colder weather only slowed the flow from the can a little bit. If you are using it outside be aware of wet conditions as water makes the foam cure up hard much faster. I hope that helps, good luck. And if you haven't had experience with expanding foam sealants the stuff is super sticky and extremely hard to remove from clothing and skin.

I have had very good luck with 3M blue painter's tape that I clean with alcohol after each print. The PLA prints seem to stick like crazy and I have to pry them off the stage. I haven't printed to the full extent of the stage but it is working fine for now.

Hi Eric. It just so happens I have stumbled on a nice sealer/finisher, a totally matte spray by Deco Art, Americana. It is nicely clear, doesn't seem to yellow the paint and is just the ticket for the crackle medium. I found it on Amazon, and it may be a bit pricier than something you'd find in Home Depot type box store, but it works fine. I'm doing a big wall cupboard in crackle, and I am thinking about using it on a table if it's conducive to using as a dining top finish. Good luck! Terri C.

I used it on some interior detailed brass statues They look great, and I expect the Brass Lacquer will preserve there brilliance for many years. I have a Copula on top of my Garage with a copper roof an a copper flying Goose weather vein on top. I haven't properly lacquered the roof yet but I did bring in the Goose & cleaned it very good & applied 2 coats of the Lacquer in October 2013 an it still looks great. It was the first time I had even thought about a protective coating to show off the copper finish. It seems a shame people purchase cooper or brass decorative outside attachments for their homes, as myself, and feel it the norm to let them fade to Patina (oxidation). When you can coat it and keep the cooper or brass luster you bought it for. I can't wait to Lacquer the Cupola roof. Longevity is a question an abuse from the elements, but for as good as it looks, it seems worth putting on the Spring Clean-up list. Hope this helps. Ya can't loose by trying. A proper cleaning & prep is the key before applying.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.
