I love how it turned out. What paint do you use on the plastic?

Another brilliant make-over!  You'd never know it started life as one of those little brown plastic pieces.

Fusion plastic spray is what I do first to prime it, and then it takes just about any paint. I used Target brand craft acrylic for this. I have also used ceramcoat on these.

Thank you! I love upgrading the brown plastic furniture with paper and paint. Great instant and cheap DIY fix.

Great makeover.  The addition of card stock panels is such a great idea.  I mean I don’t know if this is how you did it, but the panels could be painted prior to attaching which would certainly be easier to paint.  

Very nice! Great job

Thanks and yup - pre-printed cardstock is the method for these makeovers. Makes life easier in 1:48! 

I love how this turned out . Thanks for sharing how you do it . Though I'm just not sure about doing a 1:48 on my own . I have one kit to do but it's still sitting .

An amazing transformation! Brilliant!  

Looks fantastic!!!!
