Interior painting help!!

So I've tried absolutely everything and followed all methods to the t but it just doesn't seem to work for me and when it does when I try again it doesn't work... so I think I'm just going to take it somewhere just to get it professionally done because in reality I'm wasting more money in paint I'm wasting then just getting it done the right way. I was just wondering if anyone would know of any places I would be able to take my interior pieces to get them professionally done (vinyl and plastics) any help would be great. Thank you!

Re: Interior painting help!!

How did you prep the surface? Did you use an adhesion promoter before spraying your color?

Re: Interior painting help!!

what did you clean the surface with? you shouldn't use anything that is petroleum based, so no thinner, mineral spirits ect. I use denatured alcohol when cleaning any surface that is going to get painted or primed. after cleaning then the adhesion promoter then paint. be careful if your going to try the denatured alcohol, its nasty stuff, so is the promoter. use gloves, and a mask probably isn't a bad idea. we use the promoter at work and are required to wear a full face mask, just incase it splashes.
