paint for Galaxy Black PLA plastic
Hello,
I bought a couple items made out of Galaxy Black PLA plastic. I want to paint the items to match my jungle green Nintendo 64.
Does anyone know what kind of paint will stick to this kind of plastic? I have not tried anything yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark

I have had good results with acrylic fine arts paints applied with an airbrush or a bristle brush. I use Golden brand liquid acrylics.

Thank you so much! This project is for a Christmas gift. I'm in the USA. Do you know where to buy these paints in a store or should I try Amazon? I need to match the color to the Nintendo which will be much easier in person than gambling online.

I use Army Painter acrylic paint. Works fine in most cases. Occasionally some filament types work better with a coat of gray spray primer. I have not tried to paint over Galaxy Black. It's too pretty as is!
