Hi Mike;

I have used Fusion on some model railroad locomotive handrails, which are molded from what the hobby mags like to call "slippery engineering plastic", which is one way to call delrin or nylon, etc... These flexible plastic handrails have always been prone to paint chipping off... My point is, the fusion worked extremely well, and I think you might be on to something here. It might be worth a try; one possible drawback is that it can be somewhat thick, but I don't think it is too bad.

Since I do softskins mostly, painting tracks hasn't been an issue, but I do have a few armor kits in the stash that will need to be addressed at some point... I'm away from my shop at the moment but perhaps I'll give the Fusion a try and report my findings here...

Thanks for the link; that will teach us to search the forums first! Seriously, I think this Krylon Fusion product holds promise. Mike, you might try what Rick suggested to the other member and try the latex on one of the runners or maybe some spare or old track parts; since I try (usually to not much avail) to keep harmful fumes out of my life as much as possible, the latex might also hold promise. Let us know what your findings are!
Happy modeling;

Jim

Is this Krylon Fusion only a US product?? Are there any european modellers that have seen this product over here?? Sounds like something to look into!

I must be missing/not understanding something in the original link. The link works alright, but I don't see any manufacturer link like you mentioned... I'll try a google on it.

Thanks again!
