Has anyone had experience with painting the clear Lund Interceptor bug
shields???

I had a blue one, it cracked and Lund replaced it...but they were out of
blue tinted ones....So I took a paintable clear.....

Is there any special prep for the plastic??

Can I get away with using Duplicolor spray bombs???
