Does anyone know of a tutorial for how to pain resin belt boxes?  The only ones I have found require an airbrush, which I don't own.

If not, does anyone know of someone offering a service to pain them?

If you painted your own, how did you do it and what materials did you use?

Thanks!

Buy cans of hobby spray paint? Something like Mr Hobby or Tamiya. If they are unpainted resin then you'll probably want a plastic primer to get better adhesion,but we've painted straight onto plastic and resin without primer without issues. Hobby paint is usually pretty good stuff. Best to get the shine off it first to get better adhesion, we usually use a scrub pad like what you use for cleaning.

Spraying will give you a much better finish than hand painting, unless you want the look of brush strokes
