Plastic Primer.

[pinky]

As im in the process of painting my new sport spoiler..I found out
that you have to use a special plastic primer, instead of the normal stuff.. as
this causes the paint to flake from the edges.
Iv seen lots of cars were the paint is flaking because of this.. so I thought I
would share this info.

fibreglass or steel?

The bloke at renault said on fibreglass and plastic trims.

tbh i think any normal person on cliosport should know that big plastic parts need plastic primering?

nothing new

Well how come iv seen paint peeling off peoples painted parts?
obviously they dont and I didn't.
tbh I think im quite normal thanks!

poor prepwork and tbh, even with all the plastic primer in the world, laquer can still flake

tbh it aint something youd go to a bodyshop and say.

"hey can you paint my spoiler but i want it plastic primed too"

i think any decent bodyshop knows that they need to be plastic primed anyway.

its like going into a bakers and saying "i want a fresh loaf of bread, can you make sure you put flour in?"

Im painting it myself.
