Model Train Gauge
Painting plastic Model Train but paint is still sticky after 3 days?
I have repainted a plastic model O gauge train using a can of automotive spray paint. The surface is still sticky after three days. Why is this ? Will it eventually dry after a week or so ?
Some automotive paints have a solvent that is incompatible with plastics like styrene or ABS. The solvent hasn't cured yet. As someone mentioned, put in a cool-dry place with plenty of ventilation and you'll be fine.
I often have models stacked up for MONTHS during the winter (our humid season) while I wait for the humidity to drop.
