Painting Latex-Tech
Method I Using Acrylic Paint
Supplies:
Latex Rubber
Mat Acrylic Paint **Desired Color
Vinegar (Acetic Acid)
Water ***Ammonia if possible
- Prep Mask with Acetic Acid (Vinegar)-Spray On and allow to dry or tap dry with paper towel to speed cure. This helps to prime latex for better paint adhesion.
- Next, Blend Latex with Acrylic Paint
- 50/50 Mix with Mat Acrylic Paint *Suggestion: Lowes' Behr Interior Mat Acrylic Paint ***Adjust mix ratio according to Latex's Viscosity (Liquid Thickness)
- Screen the Blend to ensure a uniform, consistent mixture with no lumps.
- For Sprayable Mix
- Mix, again, with 50/50 with Water or Water/Ammonia Mix ***Adjust mix ratio according to Latex's Viscosity (Liquid Thickness).
Method II Using Rubber Cement
Supplies:
Latex Rubber
Rubber Cement
Silicone Pigment Or Modeler's Acrylic Paint
Solvent Thinner-Xylene
- Prep Mask with Acetic Acid (Vinegar)-Spray On and allow to dry or tap dry with paper towel to speed cure. This helps to prime latex for better paint adhesion.
- Next, Blend Rubber Cement with desired Silicone Pigment Or Modeler's Acrylic Paint
- Typically, mix no more than 2-3% of Silicone Pigment to Total Weight of Latex rubber-Silicone Pigments are very concentrated.
- Then, Adjust Thickness of Mix with Solvent-Xylene. This helps to expedite the cure of rubber cement.
- 50/50 Mix with Solvent ***Adjust mix ratio according to Latex's Viscosity (Liquid Thickness)
