painting plastic

hey guys, i was wondering what do i need to do to paint the plastic exterior pieces; the bumper corners, grill, and those corners at the top of the cab?
do i use a special paint cause its plastic? can i get this at home depot or the likes? do i sand? do i prime?

just looking for some how to's...never done plastic before.

i just used regular spray and did mine but

iam sure mikey will come in and say something

theres krylon for plastics not sure tho..

wait till mikey comes in or go to my thread about this

man i looked at your pics and it looks great!

i had actually 2 cans of gloss black

exterior/interior paint and said what the heck so i

tried it and its not too bad ..

if you want it to last a long time i would suggest

to buy the krylon paint for plastic tho .. that

way theres no chipping..

there is a guy that told me he's front bumper was faded and he used a can or two of plasticote spray (i haven't use it tho) but he said it looks really good.

Krylon Fusion spaypaint will be your best friend. Pick it up at Home Hardware,Home Depot,Canadian Tire etc.

Comes in a variety of colours and this paint is specially made for painting plastic. It does not require you to sand or ptrime the area you wish to paint. Just clean the area with soap and water first.

I painted my bumper caps and valance with it,and I even sprayed a set of aluminum rims with it,but I sanded and primed them first.

I would also recommend this paint if you were wanting to paint any of your interior plastics,including the door panels or the dash itself.
