So I never got a solid response from the last time, so as they say try try try again. Anyone have personal experience or concrete knowledge of what available options there are paints-wise that will work on the Surlyn bodywork? I know from Dupont's web site that their Chroma system should work, but I want to know what other options are available to me before I start moving in any particular direction. Thanks! |

Any sort of automotive paint from the carrepairsystems will do,they've a primer for a good adhesion for the paint onto the plastics. |

Got two options now, Thanks Trev. Did you have to use any special adhesive agent from house of kolor, or just the part a/b primer mix? Misato, you're planning on going with the Dupont Chroma System right? How soon are you planning on doing that? |

yeah, chromabase.. not sure when but at least within the next month or 2. duponts site said to use red scotch brite, but I had already started sanding with 600 wet. I'll go over it with some finer stuff then prime and paint. |
