- Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:56 am #96734 I dont need to primer it, I didnt sand it down and its not like regular paint its a lot lighter and thinner. I would only primer it if I were to fiberglass or sand it down. It would be more likely to crack if I were to primer it because it would make the overall paint thickness thicker which means it wouldnt have much flex room.

If you dont prep it right the paint wont stick as well. Make sure you use light and even layers. :thumb:


In shop class we would sand the plastic with a grey scotch brite(spelling?) so it was a really fine sanding, and then wax and grease removed, then painted.

The key is to get rid of ANY kind of shine on the plastic before you paint it.
