Hi guys... I want to respray the plastic bumpers on my EL wagon... they're (supposed to be) argon silver.
I know about spraying metals, but what about plastics.. what's the process for doing this? |

basically the same
sand back with 120ish wet/dry to remove the old clear and mark the old paint so the new paint has somethign to stick to 
well thats what my mate does.... says it works fine

So just wash it. Give it a once over with some wax/grease remover. Sand the whole thing with 120 wet/dry... get all the dust off... spray.
Sound about right? |

Bare plastic needs to be primered with a Plastic Primer before regular primers or fillers are applied.

a sand down with 120grit then a wash with wax/grease remove and then the new paint should be sweet

My rear bumper needs painting - it's black. Some one said that if it had armourall on it the paint won't take.
Looks like a bit of sanding will do the trick (I hope) Let us know how you get in Adam
