pod paint ?
For those of you that painted your pillar pods did you use primer? If so what kind and where did you get it? I got paint coming from ITP diesel.

No primer for me, just washed down the plastic real good with dish soap and water to make sure there was not grease or oil was on the surface.

I primed mine with SEM Products Flexible Primer Surfacer designed for plastics and urethanes. I purchased it at a Carquest store that sells paint and body supplies.

I don't know if it is necessary, but I primed both of my pods just to be on the safe side.
