Knives (and anyone else who knows about cosplay with plastic), I hoped to ask you this during the Panel before we had to deal with you-know-what, but you probably noticed the upper helmet part of my mask was originally white and slowly reverting here and there, I'd already tried giving it a light sanding to give the paint a better grip. Are there any brands you reccommend?

sry
i havent been hear much
well
paint for plastic isnt hard to find
if its flaking off
just look anywhere paint is sold and find the plastic chemically bonding paint
if its rubbing off
theres not much to do but put a layer if polyeurithane on it
and be careful
i like to use colored plastics to prevent this all together
if i can

Krylon Fusion (Wal-Mart) is good, and Rustoleum for Plastics (everywhere else).
You don't have to use a primer for either, because they chemically bond to plastic, but since you painted them already I'm not sure how these will react.
You could always just prime them and repaint, but in that case you could really use any paint. Just polyurethane-coat them, like Knives said.
