wash all pieces with HOT SOAPY WATER, this release`s the molding agent, if its still slick then washing with the same hot soapy water but now with a GREY SCUFF PAD
thats it 2 times of washing
now your going to use a ppg product dx103 and not a wax and grese remover using that will ruin the preping process
after that APPLY ADHESHION PROMOTER!!!! bully dog or sem what ever you can find ya need it!!! 10-15 mins to dry it has to dry!!!!!!!!
never do you apply paint in and or on wet its always medium from a rattle can, letting each coat flash off
same goes for the clear coat
thats it super easy, no need for primer, no need for any other redunkalouis step, so easy a monkey can do this

Thank you, as for vinyl though is this the same process? I understand the plastics bit, its no different from hydrodipping where you have to flame treatr the plastic to get all the release agents out. Thanks this will help alot bdyman.
