| Post subject: | Primer for plastic help!!!! |
So i'm in the process of painting my passenger side A - Piller to match the Lotek gauge pod and having a REALLY hard time getting paint to stick to it 
I'm already using Dupli color vinyl and fabric paint. Had no problems with the gauge pod. So What now? I have lightly sanded it, Cleaned it with Rubbing alcohol. But the crap WILL NOT stick. Is there a PRIMER That will BOND to plastic or whatever it is? Will RustOleum plastic primer work? Or is that garbage too? Thanks for the help! |

Try DupliColor Adhesion Promotor, followed by Krylon Fusion. Remember preparation is key. |

I used the Dupli color vinyl and fabric paint But I did not sand... Just cleaned... It's sticking nicely... Guess that is not an option for you now... Could it be too hot or humid out? |

Since the A pillar covers are not smooth there is not really a need to sand... Unless you sand them down completely and get rid of the little dimples.... But who would sand anything that much?!?!

There's a product line from SEM for plastics and vinyl that has gained a very good reputation in the musclecar restoration market. Its a package system with cleaner, adhesion promoter, primer, and dye. I don't know where the best place to get it is and I'd imagine it isn't cheap, but the folks using it seem to really like the results. |

Bulldog Adhesion Promotor. I have been using it for years and it has never failed me. |
