I have been using SpazStix for a while now and have had no issues. I recently bought some of the floursent orange and painted a project. When I went to cut the wheels out, the paint began to flake off. Ive had this issue with other paints but never SpazStix. Attached are some pictures. Any help or advice is appreciated.

I found it's crap.  Stinks, too. Happens even after roughing up the body before. Also found it happens more on PETG bodies vs Lexan.

What kind do you recommend? I've tried Createx, Fastkolor and have had no luck at all with them.

[Noose]

Createx, Fastkolor both worked fine for me. I only thinned them with the Createx reducer.

No luck in what way?

[K2 Designs]

I poured the paint straight from the bottle. It would not spray through the nozzle. I thinned until it would spray.

Sorry I meant I had luck with createx etc.  That pic above is a result of paint being very thin and sprayed too heavy.  If that thin lower pressure and very, very light coats.

what pressure do you spray at normally?

30-35 psi

I'm looking at the streaks that show in the picture in post #7. Looks like the inside of the body had been wiped with a cloth or paper towel that was contaminated with oil or detergent. That causes the paint to "bead up", and show paterns left by the contaminated cloth.

this is why i use spray cans. fluorescent paints are notorious for flaking - you just have to live with it.

I have had issues with Spazstix white rattle can flaking. Other colors have been OK, including fluorescents.

if you look at my thread in here you can follow my learning process of figuring out createx. Still not that big of a fan but it’s readily available for me.

Should be one of these that Mark is referring to.
