Airborne Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 I know people that have candy exterior paint on their engine blocks for years with no issues. Plastic covers, if prepped right will do great with regular quality auto paint.
Pioneerchuck Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 What he ^ said. You can always sand the piece down nice and good and get some body filler and slap some of that one then give a really good sanding and then have it painted. That's what I did on my Cadillac's plastic pieces. Gave it a great background for the paint to adhere to.
