Painting Delrin?

[virtualrain]

I want to paint the Delrin top on my EK water block...

Any suggestions on what primer to use?

Would something normally designed to be used on plastic work?

I would suggest sanding the piece first, to help with the primer.

yeah, just sand it with, say, 120 grit, then primer, then 220 grit,(or 400) then paint, then steel wool, then paint multiple coats, then multiple clear coats.

you might need an alcohol based shellac like this as a primer:

and then a good topcoat

WTF? Did you actually read any of those links? If there's anything useful there I failed to find it.

Thanks Grinch, that looks promising... now trying to find it here might be a challenge!
