Preparing the surface
:
The robot and house body is an
ABS plastic
and should be cleaned before painting to remove
oils and dirt. Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol to prepare it. It helps to smooth the rough
edges of the scrapes or scratches before painting with 600 grit sandpaper. This improves the
adhesion of the paint also. You can lightly sand the area to paint with the 600 grit sandpaper or
a Scotch-Brite 7448 pad.
Painting the surface:
Method 1
Enamel spray paints such as SEM Interior/Exterior enamel could be used. This can be touched
up easy if the paint ever got a scuff or scrape but is typically just for painting trim, bumpers,
gauge plates etc. Carefully cover parts that are not to be painted with masking tape and paper,
to protect against over spray.
Method 2
Note: If you use method 2, you should contact a professional painter that has had experience
painting on various types of surfaces. These are automotive type paints and typically include a
primer and base coat. For a glossy look you can use a glossy base coat or a clear coat.
Brand- Dupont

Acrylic Urethane Flexible Primer Surfacer. Primer is optional.
