I have a rear spoiler and spats that I bought to take a crack at painting something with an Eastwood rattle can automotive paint code and some 2k clear in my garage. I’ve spray painted a bunch of stuff over the years with good results but I’m not super educated on the subject and want to give myself the best shot at good results here. The spoiler is pretty much rigid and is ABS. The spats are flexible, are made of PP and will have to bend slightly when they’re fastened to the car. Both parts came with a matte black finish from the factory that seems pretty nice and even. The color I’m painting is the newer Honda bright blue called boost or racing blue pearl depending on market.

- this color and 2k clear from a can going to be ok on a flexible part like the PP spats?

- what grit would you sand? 800? 1000?

- Primer? Adhesion promoter? Scuff and paint since they’re already finished? …What’s your recommendation on process?

I’ve seen bulldog recommended in videos etc but I saw a recent post here where someone said it’s lacking a chemical to make it effective on PP.

Happy to provide any other info you need! Thanks in advance!!! 😊

My car has a silver trim above all 3 side windows (Civic Sport Touring Hatchback). I used a high quality precut vinyl kit to black them out a few months back. I recently purchased some expensive authentic MUGEN window visors. They have clips but primarily fasten with double sided tape. I could remove the wrap but I’d like to leave it in case any of the silver would show around the edges and since the rear window trim will still be blacked out. However, I have limited experience with how well these parts with trim tape will stick to vinyl. I don’t want to make an uninformed decision so.. if I clean the surface with alcohol and carefully apply these expensive visors will they stick just as well to the wrap? 😅
