bring it to a airbrusher and he can made what ever you want.

may i know what's an airbrusher? sorry im really a newbie at these kind of stuffs ; thanks for helping me ^^

an airbrush artist or custom car painter

..and be ready to pay more than your M-Frame's worth.

woah thats a little extreme , how about using normal spray paint?

If you're going to use a spray paint, try using Krylon Fusion. It's for plastic and used to color car interiors.

Some of the model paints work good as well especially the (and not to promote him but) boyd cottington custom colors for car models.

if you paint them, make sure you use a good oil and wax remover prior to painting them, and scuff the surface with a scotch brite pad lightly. I would say you would be better off with R/C car body paints because they are designed to bond with lexan, and flex without peeling or chipping. I would highly suggest a clear coat and cure them under heat of about 110 degrees farenheit (automotive grade clear or clear lacquer) or a radiant heat lamp (like restaurants use). If you can locate Imron clear by DuPont, it is awesome!

Look at Wal-Mart if ou have one around and they now carry House of Kolors paints in spray and airbrush form...By far the best for colors!!! Usually high grade for automotive, but have no knowledge of what they changed to make them into spray cans and little bottles...Sick colors though

thanks!

any luck on the color change yet? I am curious to see how the project is coming out for ya...Keep us posted

thats what im thinking .. but im hesitating because im afraid of potential paintwork problems

I don’t think we ever established what kind of M frame you are painting.

Just out of curiosity what Generation and color is it?

I don't know that there are many painted M-Frames. Most seem to be molded in whatever color they are.

A quality paintjob is all about the prep work. You can use the best stuff on the planet, but if you do a half hearted prep job, you will get fisheye, bubbles, dust & lint, etc. You can prep the surface, and do the base perfect, use cheaper paints, and get show quality results...It's up to you where you want to spend your time and money...

Be careful on your paint choice. Urethane paints such as house of kolor will melt certain plastics but the the RC paints that ifynanceu suggested could be a good bet. I use autoair paint on all my plastic pieces which are water based and available in a lot of colours including flip paints so will have no effect on plastic. I would also suggest a plastic primer or an adhesion promoter such as bulldog if you are in the States. This will help stop the paint from coming off the frame. You will also need an airbrush to spray on the paint which will give you a nice smooth finish. If you do spray it then use really thin layers as thick paint will crack and come off. I would suggest going to airbrush.com for more advise if you are gonna do it yourself. Also there may well be someone who can do it for you on the site.
