acid etch! :O

Really you wanted to use an adhesion prmoter then 2k primer, Upol do awesome products for that.

Etch is most commonly used and really best for aluminum parts.

Make sure the plastic was as smooth as glass and not "fluffy" from prep marks, the little fibres will lift through the paint.

I'm not talking about aerosol


You get it to go through the gun.

Also the reason cans splatter is because the components inside aren,t mixed correctly and are under temperature.

I use and adhesion promoter from upol in an aerosol for small jobs, it allows 2k etc straight over. i'll get the name of it in a monent.
