    Ok guys I just bought a nice new repo dash pad from RESTOPARTS in black that I need to paint red. In experimenting with black plastic parts for my red interior I realized it’s going to take quite a few coats to get the shade I want. In my original experiment I used BullDog Adhesion Promoter then the paint. After questioning the paint supply store about coverage issues, I was told to use a white or gray primer first but they did not know about using the BullDog.

    I am getting ready to paint the dash pad and am looking for some opions as if I should just use the SEM primer then paint or the Bulldog adhesive promoter, primer then paint or some other order. What say thee?

    What about adhesive promoter, then primer, then adhesive promoter again followed by however many coats of paint it takes to get the shade you want?

    I have found since the adhesive promoter is clear it offers no base. I tried white and gray primers and they made a difference.
