NSR Polymer Panel Painting

[claymore_dude]

I bought some Foliage Green panels because I couldn't wait to get my hands on the black ones since they were out of stock everywhere. If I gave it a good two coats of the regular black krylon; will the paint stick/adhere, and if so would it change the texture of the feel? If anyone has any knowledge on painting rubberish polymer, please feel free to chime in! From what I believe, they are similar in material of the ERGO ladder rails.

it might not wear very well. u might need to scratch up the surface of the panels before you paint them

I would recommend to DYE it using RIT dye. google search for dying Pmags and you should find stuff for the NSR panels

This. Paint isn't going to hold well at all.

Have you thought about Rit Dying them? Should be a permanent color change.

Tried dyeing some o.d. Magpul furniture and it faded pretty easy.

Place the NSR panels in direct sunlight (after degreasing) for about a half hour then use some quality paint. Mine has held up better than expected for a rattle can job.

What would you consider to be a good can? I have a couple of the Rust-Oleum Universals which I've used on some car side-steps and they've held up for almost a year now.

Alot of fellas on here like Aervoe paint. I use Krylon Camo.

This pic was probably taken 6 months after applying the Krylon.

Wow, I'll have to check that out. Thanks, as of now I only have Krylon Camo in FDE.

I have used automotive dash and panel dye with great success. It is actually a dye and not a paint. Very durable. Should be able to grab some at an auto parts store.

Make sure to clean them with an alcohol and bake them at a very low heat to get any remaining oils out. Paint and you should be GTG

Duracoat it, or Aervoe.

I've had good luck with Krylon Fusion on polymer pieces. The adhesion has been solid and everything has held up pretty well.
