Painting Plastic Grill

An excerpt from autobodystore.com" classroom chat.

"After cleaning well with a solvent scuff with a gray Scotch Pad then clean again and spray with a "good" adhesion promoter.

BASF makes several and I'm sure most other paint companies also make several different types of adhesion promoter. Most of these are single part products that are poured in the gun straight from the can or come in aerosol cans like the Dominion Sure Seal product that I sell.

Apply the adhesion promoter and wait the prescribed amount of time then just shoot your paint on top and it should hold on quite well."

Hope this helps!
