neither krylon, cerakote, nor alumahyde seems to do well on the black BC flip plastic. Does anyone make a similar product molded in dark earth?

The only thing I have thought of is lightly sanding the Butler Creeks before painting them. Paint might last a little longer that way.

I think there is something called Bulldog or Bullydog primer that is made for plastic. A buddy of mine has painted a few motorcycles of his own and I have heard him speak of this stuff..wonder if this will help adherence of the paint to the flip caps...???
Just wondering..

Re: BC Flip in Dark Earth
man guys....is this really an issue? paint the shit and when it scratches off(hopefully from hard field use and not from coming in and out of your safe to show your buddies) paint it again. by that time they should be junked out and in need of a new set...

If you're too worried about color coordinating your kit you need to shoot more.

Car painters use Adhesion Promoter after scuffing plastic bumpers to help the primer/paint stick. It goes on clear. If you go to an Auto Body Paint supplier and ask for aerosol AdPro they could probably hook you up.

Re: BC Flip in Dark Earth
True that its not that big of a deal WHEN the paint rubs off, but I would definitely like coyote brown or dark earth caps if they were available.

+1
The plastic they use has almost an oily finish on it, and nothing seems to really adhere to it.
BC really ought to step up and start making some of the more popular sizes molded in brown

They need to fix their QC before offering any new Whiz Bang tacticool color schemes.
Most of the Objective covers don't even stay firmly closed any more (Brand New).
