Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is a type of paint that you paint plastic interior and dash bits

vinal paint ..is the stuff you ise isn't it ?

not fully sure have never used it but i think thats the stuff

Just use vinyl paint. Comes in a pressure pack, get it from any auto parts store.

Before spraying though, give whatever your painting a thorough cleaning with something fairly harsh. If anything like Armourall or other silicone based "protectants" have been used on it you need to get rid of that first, otherwise the paint won't stick.

cant remember the name but its a surface prep in a white rectangular tin with blue writing and it says "makes paint stick"

ive used it before on glass and hard plastics and it works a great.

You may be right ferrit, Im sure that penetrene is one product availabel though.

I have a product here for painting called "esp" Easy surface prep.

I am now starting to think that I was pretty wrong

i KNOW penetrene is a penetrating oil, theres a bottle of it beside my monitor at the moment (note to self, drink crownie, not penetrene!)

The esp one I also have sitting next to my monitor looks exactly how it was described originally.

white rectangle with blue and red on it

"firmly bonds paint to any surface.....even glass!"

And if ya swinging through this way gareth you are welcome to BORROW it

you can use ESP (easy surface prep) Dulux and alike stock it. And penetrol is also a surface prep just by a different company. They will both do the job. We use these products to apply first to laminated surfaces and alike that paint has trouble bondidng too. Then just spray vynil paint onto it.

too easy

go to supercheap i here they have a 20% off sale buy some export paint about 3 bux just make sure you clean the surface properly as already stated i just used metho worked fine dont use this paint on stuff that flexes alot though like seats . ok on dash or doors ect. got heaps of colours.go really easy on the coats though not too thick at a time .

Well when painting plastic you need to use a PLASTIC PRIMER (this eats into the plastic and forms a better surface for the paint to stick to...can be bough in spray can form from most auto shops. You can use normal paint on top of that.....i opted to use normal primer over the plastic primer - rubbed it down and then used color followed by clear.

I used that export paint on some scrap bits and it turned white in some spots

I belive the stuff you after is penertrol .. not penetrene

Id use 'Etch Primer' clean your surface with prepsol or quickly with thinners spray etch primer on then just use any colour acrylic automotive/panel paint you like skys the limit
