Re: [VAL] Paint for ABS Plastic?

Since you made the decision to use real paint (you have to mix) and spray it
yourself. Bulldog makes a real good adhesive flexible primer for plastic's.
Get some of it, I think the smallest quantity/size you can get is a quart.
As for the topcoat, PPG is real good, but expensive. Western also makes some
fairly good paint at a cheap price. Get the two stage, base coat/clearcoat
poly.
Base coat sprays easy, like a flat paint. If you get a run or sag just sand it
out then you can still clear coat it with no problems, just be careful to not
run the clear. But even if you do, once it dries you can sand it out and buff
it back out like it was never there.
