diy thread?

Is there a DIY thread for painting the bumperettes?
Anyone have any recommendations on what kind of primer to use on the plastic before applying paint?
Do you clear coat after painting?
Any suppliers of paint recommendations?

First thing is a soap and water wash, followed by a solvent wipe (pre-kleeno).

I don't recommend spray can primer unless it's also an adhesion promoter, like Bulldog.

Yes, clear coat for sure.

Any paint supplier will work, just make sure they have a system that can check for variations on your color.

Some Honda colors now have up to 18 different formulas for the same paint code.
