I am planning on repainting my motorcycle's plastics gloss black. They are polypropylene plastic. I want the shiniest finish I can get with a rattle can. I know the best way is to use adhesion promoter. I have the following questions though about the different options:
1. Do I need another primer over the adhesion promoter?
2. Will a filler primer work well to fill in blemishes over plastic on top of the adhesion promoter?
3. It is an street enduro type bike with the plastic fenders, assuming I go base followed by clear, will the flex of the fender/plastics due to vibrations put the base and clear coat in jeopardy of cracking?
4. Can you paint a clear coat over the bumper paint to get it nice and shiny?
5. Last question: do I wet sand the base coat prior to spraying the clear?
Thanks ahead of time. Great site.
