I cleaned up windshield wiper motor and wanted to paint it with the 2k aerospray epoxy primer then satin black. What should I do about the plastic cover before? Do I still use an adhesion promoter?

 

[melloelky]

I've Never used the epoxy you're using but follow what the paint sheet says as far as a universal promoter goes on all surfaces,prep etc.especially plastics.i don't know what they call for but the tech sheets on paint products is law on procedures in my book.

melloelky thank you... It's an Eastwood product. Some of the plastic adhesion promoters say they are not for urethane products? I don't know. Also since you have been here longer than I, should I ask these questions in paint section or is the build thread ok?

 

[melloelky]

as far as i'm concerned it's fine in your thread and all.that wiper cover's a semi/rigid plastic so it's not on the urethane spectrum.that's usually aimed at a flexible plastic.

Thank you sir

Thank you sir

Use bulldog. It's not cheap but def worth the cost. I started using duplicolor adhesion promoter and it leaves an almost web sometimes when sprayed. I switched to bulldog and haven't looked back.

I've got the Bulldog for the plastic. Now my question is about the trim for windshield. There is this plastic strip inside 3 of the pieces that can slide out. Should I leave them in and spray primer then color or remove them first?
I worry that after layers are sprayed that it might be very hard to slide them back on.

Remove the plastic strips while you paint the trim. While they're out you can clean them with dawn soap and water, then re install before the trim goes back on.
