Steps to painting a plastic body?
I think these are the steps in correct order but can someone double check me?
1. Clean plastics 2. Sand (a lot) 3. Clean (again) 4. Mist a very very light coat of bull dog adhesive promoter 5. Prime (what brand?) 6. Prime more 7. Paint (very very light coats) 8-10 paint 11. Sand for clear coat (grit needs to be what?) 12. Clear coat 13-15 clear coat 16 dry for a week or so 17 reinstall body to cart.* I will be using rattlecans.* So, are these the correct steps to prep an painting a plastic golf cart body? Also tips and tricks would be helpful.* Thanks in advance, Catsnw Ps what is the best brand of paint to use? I will be painting a green cart black if that makes a difference. Pss what kind of paint to get enamel ect? Psss where to get bull dog adhesive (not online) |

If you are filling scratches and such then I would use a polyester finishing putty, I use what is called icing made by USC. It is runnier than heavier bondo type fillers and doesn't get the pin holes.
