Hey, Spectre! I have a question for you.
I'm painting the doors on my Stinger, and the best-matching color I could find (to the original color) was Rust-Oleum automotive primer. But, I'm worried about how well that would adhere to the plastic. So, I plan on using Valspar "Plastic Primer" first, then using the automotive primer. With the plastic primer on first - that should adhere ok, shouldn't it? Since you said the plastic was suspect, I would test a spot or something first though.

How much better is it to clean with alcohol, as opposed to just soap and water? |

You sure you want to make it narrower?

I have had better luck with the alcohol. It seems to prime the plastic a little as it removes any gunk.

The shape and texture of it are great.
I have 10 - 12 of them being cast right now. I just need to work out with you a price to get them painted.

It is a good looking scultp too. I tried it on mine first to see how I liked the look. I just like the SB/BH sculpt better. To me that texture goes with the turtle neck collar. |
