if the plastic is bare, then you need a plastic adhesion primer, its a clear film that sprays on and dries in minutes, then you spray on your primer and your set, but any sanding that goes back to the bare plastic has to be preped again, it doesnt matter if you get this adhesion primer on your paint primer.

if its bare plastic you need to use a mold release chemical and some other stuff to clean the plastic, then use the flex primer. If theres already primer on it, you should be able to wetsand it smooth and seal/paint it
