Chapter 12 Maintenance: Painting the Body

PAINTING OF THE ABS PLASTIC

The following information are only suggestions of painting methods. Contact a professional for

assistance.

Preparing the surface

The robot body is an ABS plastic and should be cleaned before painting to remove oils and

dirt. This is especially true if the surface has had a protectorant such as Armor-All put on it.

If the body has not had a protectorant or other silicone product used on it, you could clean the

area with isopropyl alcohol to prepare it. It helps to smooth the rough edges of the scrapes or

scratches before painting with a 600 grit sandpaper. 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 Krylon 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.
