    the only thing i'm doing is the long black trim pieces in the dash, and you still need to prep bedliner or it will flake off, but i know painting plastics doesn't always work well either

    Adhesion Promoter is your friend...

    Scuff, clean, spray AP, prime (optional), paint.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    Krylon Fusion. No prepping of any kind for painting on plastics. You can even use this as a primer, then paint whatever you would like over it, since the Krylon will bond w/ the plastic, then the new color to the Krylon. I used this stuff w/ my interior, going from grey, to black, and its held up in the texas heat for 2 yrs now, no flaking or fading of any kind. I even used some flat black paint over the top of it on the top of the dash cuz it gave a wicked glare from the sun.
