Starting Install

[ENDER_XVICM 10+ year member]

i just went to the junk yard and picked up some interior parts for my car. All different colors though so before i install speakers and such I need to paint. To paint the plastics i was thinking of this.

I got some turtle wax to start and clean the plastics. Then I am going to wetsand the plastic with soapy water and use some filler primer and adhesive promoter and sand again with a 400 grit paper.

Then to paint I have two different paints sitting here. I have this krylon fusion and dupli-coat. The krylon is made for plastics so i am leaning towards that one over the dupli-coat. But the orange paint i have for accent color in the car is only dupli-coat. From what it looks like it is for exterior trim and such. Do you guys think the dupli-coat will work alright? or should I go and look for some orange krylon.

As long as you clean it well and use an adhesion promoter before you apply the primer you will have no problems. The adhesion promoter is made for that reason.
