you'd have to sand with a 400 or even 600 grit paper very very litely, use a primer designed to bond onto eurothane and have fun.

it worked perfectly... just put a few coats on before you paint

the sandpaper depends on if you want to keep the plastic panels grain or smooth it out flat.. if you wanna keep the grain just sand it lightly with the 400 grit.

If you want to smooth it out you gotta go 80grit, 120 grit 200 grit then 600 grit

Hey smoked, whats up? Listen I caught your thread just in time. Man why didn't you mention it on Friday. I have done quite a few of these and I can offer some suggestions, plus if you want I can offer you the use of my paint booth, guns and airbrushes. Plus I have some great plasic prep and I don't suggest you sand your interior. PM Me
