Plaster will accept any paint. However it being a material that sucks up paint I recommend you give it a primer first...even a light mist of Future will seal the pores.

sorry ya dropped it grimmo. but as ajlafleche wrote any paint, and no primer needed unless you want to go that route...wont hurt it any! i built mine out of styrene and added plaster over top of it then gave it a black primer coat b4 painting...in case that helps! Wink [;)]

Base coat is up to you. Any type of paint works on plaster.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Painting Plaster
Posted by Grimmo on Friday, June 19, 2009 4:32 AM

G'Day all. I recently purchased a verlinden plaster building set, (was 6 pieces, until i dropped it, then it was 9 pieces!) and am wondering how to paint it. It is going to be in an Iraq diorama.

 

Do i need to put a base coat on first?

What paints will be good for plaster?

 

Many thanks!
