Just my cup of tea.....if using Spray Paint, might want to try aim for Krylon ones (
can get from Arts Friend) and maybe avoid Nippon Paint.

You can buy PVC sheets from Art Friend. They're easy enough to cut with a good pair of scissors. You'll also need putty to fill and smoothen out all the gaps. See the first couple of pages.

dont use the nippo aint it wont stick. use krylon.
the reguler putty dont stick too good you have to sand the base first then apply the putty or it will flake off.
almost dont just more paint to do.

The other option you got to get "American Brand" Spray paint is to get from KL, Malaysia should you go there. Drop by ACE Store and they have a WIDE range of such paints.
For Krylon here in Singapore (Available from Art Friend), off my head I only remember the regular kind, meant for Plastic.
