Well, this has been a Moving Target for the better part of 3 months. I've been experimenting with different paints, different temperatures, and humidity levels and how it all reacts to painting plastics. Plastics are a bitch to paint. I'll tell you that for sure. I've been trying to achieve a "textured" look. Not too textured like RHINO LINING, but like an orange peel look. But in Black, and still glossy. They don't make paint to do that, so you have to figure out certain levels and temperatures to paint at to achieve the same effects. Anyway, to make a long story short. I finally got what i was looking for.
May i mention again, that Plastic is hard to paint. You have to find paint that has a lot of flex agent in it so it'll hold up to stress and not crack.
I don't claim to be some DuPont specialist in all things paint, which is why I've been chasing the tail of this thing for months. I finally got what i was looking for though.
