touching up plastic

heyyyyyyyy, my side skirts, which are black abs plastic, have some chips on them, i was wondering if anyone knew how you can touch that up? because the paint doesn't work on the plastic, do you have to use body filler or something? thanks

if it just a chip the paint will work. You have to clean it first. use some palmolive and water first. Then clean with rubbing alcohol. Let dry and proceed to paint carefully.

Now if it is a gash or a crater, then you will need some bondo. Clean it, bondo it, and touch up with paint. Just like filling nail holes in the wall.

clean it, get some touch up primer, and then paint. touch up paint works on plastic. it works on bumpers.
