Plastic paint is formulated to adhere without sanding. It forms a bond at the molecular level.

Yep, my unsanded Krylon plastic spray paint job is now about 15 months old and has shown no signs at all of flaking, peeling, etc. Even if it's just beginner's luck, I'll take it!

I Plan on painting Interior bits this weekend.

Went out today to get the Krylon Fusion for Plastic

I would have to say that Rustolium has quite the Market share.

Hit Menards and all they had was An entire Isle of Rustolium Products.
Tried, Farm and Fleet but they had Rustolium and Valspar
Home Depot only had Rustolium
Hobby Lobby had the Krylon Fusion but only about 3 colors, White, Black, and deep red.

So I tried Walmart. Jackpot. They had the Krylon Fusion in many colors as well as the Clear Gloss. So if your looking, make your run to Walmart first.

Ill update after the weekend.

FWIW, in the Northeast, most True Value hardware stores have a wide selection of Krylon.

OK Im 90% finished and only made a few Mistakes.

But here is where I need help, I forgot to to the steering wheel trim on my passion.
I removed the screw on the back on the bottom, now what? Do I need to remove the shifters or does it just unclip and I'm not trying hard enough.
Don't want to break anything
