Q: Can this promoter be used on any kind of plastic?
A: No. It is effective on ABS, PVC, and similar plastics. It does not work on polypropylene, olefin, or TPO plastics.
Q: Do I apply my topcoat after promoter dries?
A: No. The topcoat should be applied while the promoter is still wet (wet-on-wet) to allow the color to meld into the substrate for better adhesion.
Q: Is sanding required before using this promoter?
A: No sanding required for those plastics where the promoter is effective. Surface should be cleaned and free of contaminants. Light scuffing can improve adhesion for stubborn gloss surfaces.
