gumpy000 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Key it, clean it, prime it, spray it. LOL I know that but what do you use for each? I have used Halford spray paint and lacquer but is that still the suggestion? What to use for key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you want it to stay on and not flake at a later date you need to throughly degrease it, fist with soap and water, dry and then with a decent spirit wipe, note the trouble starts when the plastic has had a silicone based cleaner used on it, its a sod to remove all traces, but there are proprietary removers. When your confident its nice a contaminate free, then use a plastics primer followed by primer and top coat and lacquer depending on what finish your after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
