I made a few stops at auto parts stores today. Most of them carried a spray
can of paint adhere (SP) For painting plastic body parts. I called the maker
of the spray liner, ARMA and they could not offer a defined answer for this.
I did find a Darango with front end damage at a body shop. Stopped in and
asked to seethe poor baby. Told them my dilemma and they offered little
help. But did get a piece of the front valiance to try spraying with a few
different methods to see what works!
I'm going to spend the morning at the shop to watch and help out a bit. I'm
going to see if I can get on of my old gray Craftsman tool books coated ;-)
