Why do you need plastic primer and normal primer

Re: Thoughts
Plastics primer is for the base most just use this but its expensive and normal primer is cheap for the build up coats before the paint goes on

Plus plastics primer is flexible so it bends where as using just standard primer it will flake away after time

Re: Thoughts
To sort out where paints coming off and cracks I'm gonna need a fiber glass filer ? And what would I sand the primer down with ? I know I need red scotch for the plastic, 60-80 grit for filer and a wet and dry 240 to flat the paint
If I'm totally wrong let me know

Re: Thoughts
I would sand it down with 240, sand the filler with 120 then 240 and finish it with 400
To flat the primer/paint between coats I'd use 800 wet
Do not touch the car with 60 or 80 grit as its far to corse and it'll just looked scratched

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Thoughts
Yeah it's for plastic bumpers obviously the packet doesn't expect them to be painted as says to sand with 40-60 grit
