i dont ever sand plastic down fully,think its just making hard work for yourself.theres no need to flat it all down by hand,the primer does that for you.after all primer is easier to flat down then plastic. | |

wayne, you even tried not sanding down plastic first? its best to do that cos scotch brite doesnt get into the little gaps. | |

i agree with kris on everything except the sanding with 120 grit at the begining.i just use a scotchpad or summing to key the surface,degrease it,plastic adhesive(clear primer) then give it a few coats of high build primer.if it doesnt cover after a few coats then let it dry,flat it down abit with 600wet then give it another coat or 2 till it covers the texture.flat that down with 600-800wet then base coat then laquer if its a metallic. | |

sand down, then use plastic primer (if its clear then you need filler primer over the top, if its grey then it is plastic filler primer and there is no need for another primer) then paint it | |

well thats i was told to do because the filler primer i have is yellow, and the paint i have needs grey primer. | |

erm well if you did that then i suggest you start again cos the plastic primer has to go on first. it will flake off very quickly otherwise. | |
