I have used it with great results on my 97 Jeep Wrangler.

No sanding or priming is necessary as it bonds to the plastic.The directions say the best results are between 50 and 90 degrees and humidity below 85%. All the hardware stores sell it.I use color 2421 SATIN BLACK.

By the way, I was at my local Benz dealership and the 2013 big Benz's have this same poor quality cowling at the base of their windshield on their $100,000 cars.I'm sick of the cheap junk the auto manufacturer's are dishing out when it comes to trim!
That's funny. I did the exact same thing, thinking that in the worst case I'll replace it.
Came out exelant. Used the prep spry before painting, and gave it 4 coats.
Need to see if I have before picture, and I'll post it.
