How to Paint Plastic Car Parts 

What will we do without the maroon Scotch-Brite 😂😂 I think that's my favorite item in the booth 👌

Damn, learned something new today and a new skill. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills in such a digestible way. Always amazed at people who share their craft. Thanks! Now I know how to paint my own dirt bike plastics!

Thank you for explaining this in very simple terms for someone who has not done this before. Appreciate it!

Thank you for being very thorough with this instruction. I did not want to pay and get this done by someone so I learned to do it myself thanks to you! You saved me hundreds if not thousands

Very good, I like your idea of put the wood on the wing mirror cover to hold it without touch the paint. I'm going to do that on mine to make great finish. I cant wait to get it started.

Love your videos man I’ve grew up in a body shop my whole life and I’m 19 now and getting serious into it

Yes! Got my grant 7 omc fix. Even on a small part, makes me smile how flat and shiny it goes on. 👍🇭🇲

Ok bro yr like a professional painter but the real thing is at home with spray paint cans...

I think I'm first this time...tuned in Pharraway 👍🏾

Looks good, thanks 👍. The main thing I took from this was that it's not just the paint you need but lots of other products as well, and that paint gun.

Newbie here as well. Just got new "sport" type mirrors for my OBS Chevy and need to paint match them. Very good detail as I was able to follow along. You got a like from me.

Great job, but i feel it would end up being expensive, with all the different sprays. Thanks great to watch!!!

Good finish. It's an awful lot of stuff needed for such a small piece of plastic.

Thank you sharing your knowledge for a newbie to understand, I will follow your process and save so much money converting my Toyota Tundra to White storm trooper look. Subscribed 👍🏻

Hey PHARRAWAY, forgot to mention that I got my stickers. They're much better in person! Really cool product! Thanks brother!

thanks for this video. I just got a saturn and the paint on it has seen some better days. Looking foreward to using this method on the plastic pannels.

I appreciate your video, I don't know what the hell is wrong with the Internet they don't want to show nobody anything about how to protect ABS plastic, I want to use ABS plastic because it's very impact resistant and easy to mold and I use pure acetone to glue them together which is very cheap but no information on how to protect it so I can mold parts for a custom job. Thank you my friend🎉🎉❤😏😏😎

THANK YOU. YOU are FANTASTIC. THANK YOU sir.

This video has the exact info I needed, thank you very much for posting it. Just got an email yesterday saying that Grant 7 is back in stock. I will be trying it on my 06 F150. BTW, I know you know the price of paints but I don't I called my PPG store to get a quote for the Deltron Abyss Gray.....$3320 a gallon and my truck would take two, LOL. I'm sure there are way more expensive paints but WOW. I almost fell out of my chair. Needless to say, I ended up getting their Shopline and it was $1500 base and clear. It's not a show truck, so if it lasts a couple years, that's OK.

🔥🔥 about to paint my sons cozy coupe and I wanted to go hard on it ! Thanks for the help man !

Thank You.

This is great, thanks for the content. just like others, I've definitely learnt something new here

Use laquer thinner or nail polish with damp cloth used for polishing or detail clean wiped lightly no need to scuffled , has smooth finish , adding tiny scratches, plus, I lead sealer yes sandwich it , I used spray can either can kit to put it in aerosal , or kit that a paint company supplier dealer put in can ,, that way is cleaner saves time n money ,it's more expensive , put don't have to use electricity air compressor, gun, then the clean up in between, larger parts are different n take longer to dry for some reason ,

Thank you

Awesome step by step man. Love your work

thanks for sharing. Good job for both educational and end results.

Hello my friend I painted my car before 6 hours I lay down the base coat every thing was super good but when I lay the clear coat suddenly only the trunk is full of reaction and fish eyes . But I am having super fun Don’t over thinking it’s just paint Passion for paint andddddd God bless

looks good like that color..

Thanks for another helpful video - have a great weekend!

you good very good ...learn something today i got all the goodies in the garage going to paint...thnx Bro....

Great video! If this is to hard for some of you you should leave the spray cans alone!

Very nice job and clear explanation. God bless

Right on...bro

Just now seeing this!! nice keep doing your thing my friend and stay blessed;)

2020 vehicle no warranty? Obviously u smashed it bro. U could sand down the paint and respray over it. Its already factory primed. Factory primed is dipped and I am doing this to my kia ceed 2017 in a week. Just going to mask tape the mirror. But u r obviously a professional painter. This kids is the way to do it

Great video

thanks

Really like that color! Great job brother!

Good video bro with good information!

Perfect informative video to end my Good Friday on. This will also work for interior trim and panels to correct? Happy Easter to every one on Sunday as well 🍻

Great info:

That's great! Nice job! How about on interior seat trim parts that are supposed to have a matt finish?

Thank you for the excellent video

Thanks for helpful tips my friend

Great lesson!!!!

Great job . & great info... as always

Great step by step. How much total for tools and materials if I have nothing?

Nice job.

Waaaw its realy nice

If you don't have any scotch-brite pads what grit sandpaper would you recommend

There is no need to sand anything when it is a dull black matte plastic which was never painted in the first place....I believe......right?

Have you had good luck with paint staying on ABS long term. Thanks for your help

Nice video. Question that I had is what is the thumbs up? Especially for the primer? Are you looking for not too wet not too dry?

Small correction, one coat of sealer, not base.

Nice job thank you for the video

At 4:11 could I use spray max 2k epoxy primer instead of sealer

Hey man, great video. Are you messuring the spray spread after spraying on the wall? If so why ?

Can you do a video on how to paint interior plastic to restore it like new?

Excellente

Will this process work on a 1981 Chevy square body for the interior plastic door panels and other interior parts? Thanks for your channel and help. Randy

Great video 👍🏽

How to paint/protect chromatic paint? By the way, very good jobs 👍

Do I need to put a flex additive in the clear coat or just an adhesion promoter?

Unreal.... ITS NOT THIS HARD. Everyone makes it seem like there's 100 steps.. wow.

can you get away with using just primer + spray paint? I already applied primer but forgot to do the adhesion promoter before. wondering if it's worth it to go: 1 - primer 2- adhesion promoter (since i forgot) 3 - primer 4 - spray paint some sites say adhesion promoter should absolutely not go over primer, but others say the opposite. wondering if you have any thoughts on it? thanks in advance

I could also just use 400 grit sandpaper right?

smart that mate can you do one on paint stands for bumpers

👍👍

I can't afford a paint gun, compressor, and expensive sealers and hardeners, all I can get is rattle can adhesion promoters and krylon paints, gonna have to make due, gotta use what you have, I know its not the "right way' but that can of adhesion promoter says you can paint right over it, so thats what im going to do.

How to paint a electric scooter panels it is painted pink from the factory. I want to paint it a different color. How would I do it ? Do I have to strip all old pink paint off parts ?

Im painting a plastic bumper on a KIA...do I need to use the paint stick on the bumper ??....im joking with you...thanks for the instructions 😅

Hi, lov watchingd vids👍, what about painting rubber trims?

When you mention sealer, is that the same as primer. I'm a DIY'er, not familar with the terms. thanks anyone can answer this for me.

Tesla Model Y has textired plastic trim around wheel wells and rocker panels, can they be painted same colour as vehicle ?

Did you mean one coat of sealer instead of base?

Great video bro

Can you use this same process with spray paint aerosol cans?

U state sealer is for better adhesion without it wont work but on another video you state its to use less paint im confused mate

Can you do this with a rattle can?

Would Fiberglass be different say on a Saturn? Some of my panels are that way to save wieght

Why didnt you mention the grade of sandpaper you used?

Are you using the same gun and tips for each coat of different product? Also what do you clean your gun with between products?

So if I'm painting a car that plastic and metal do I have to do this on the bumpers?

I have a 99 2 door tahoe that I want to change the interior from tan to dark black or graphite grey. Any advice or steps to take to mimic factory (matte or not shiny) would greatly be appreciated. I'm new to this process so please be easy on me. Just want to make my Tahoe look awesome on the inside as if it just rolled off the lot. So any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Keep posting your videos man. Very good insight.

No polish or sanding no orange peel removal?

what do I use for deep scratches and gouges? Regular body filler or is their a special filler for plastic pieces. Thanks

I'm looking into painting a few ABS plastic panels on my Focus. Did you end up using any of the reducer that appears to come with the sealer kit that you show in the video? I am relatively new to this, so I am trying to figure out what the purpose of it would be. As an alternative: would the Plastic Primer they have on their site be an acceptable substitute to using the sealer? I'm applying it on ABS plastic.

bumper covers are rubber-like it does not matter?

So rustoleum primer and plastic black gloss wont work well ?? I dont have equipment

What’s the difference between using a regular primer after the adhesion promoter to a primer sealer? I’m using Duplicolor adhesion promoter & I also have a can of Duplicolor primer sealer are those ok to use with U.pol power can spray paint?

Nice video...do you still need clear if doing a non metallic colour?

What grit sandpaper did you use to prep?

Hi thanks for video. I have couple questions do you heavily sand textured plastic like mirrors and do you sand your primer before applying paint. Also, any special instructions for tricot color paints with metallic?

how to paint the hood?

Hello, just so I’m clear. You called the primer coat, the base coat, which you mention you just need one coat of that. But then, after you painted 3 coats of the color, you mention it was the base coat too. Are the primer and color coats all called base coats then? Thank you.

Sealer = primer?

My friend, thank you for the video. Question-for panels like on the Saturn S-series, do you need to add some kind of flexing agent, and even for polyurethane and stuff like that. What do you recommend?

So basically i should just drive around with a different color mirror huh

Alaska Prepper is that you?? 😆

What if your painting plastics with texture, like a truck door handle, how would you get the texture to be smooth ?
