Plastikote do a plastics paint and Halfrauds do a Plastic bumper spray primer. But if you want a really good primer get yur self down to a good modelling shop and buy the one they use for painting their plastic cars and such.

I have just finnished a can of this (sore head now) and its one of the best sprays I have ever used. There is not a lot of info about this product because its meant to be a "trade only" paint and your meant to know what you can use it on.

Its a brilliant plastic/metal primer and sticks really well, touch dry/over paintable in about an hour (depending on how thick you lay it on) and sets rock solid after about 2 days.

I use it in conjunction with Trade Spray - Matt Black for most LR related painting (bumpers, brake servo, steering, heater box, seat rails the works!

Redhand/Disco, thanks very much

Can i ask, not sure if you have done this. As the arches are semi rigid have you noticed if the paint cracks and lifts if the arch is bent?

All paints crack if you bend em but with Paints for plastic they usually last longer than normal paints.
