Prepping Intricate Plastic Parts For Paint?

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I am getting into a Semi build, and am planning on painting the chassis rails, and numerous plastic parts that attached to it.  The flat surfaces are not an issue, but some of these pieces have tight complex inside corners and such.  What is my best way to key these parts, or if I am using Tamiya surface primer, do I really need to?  I have found that it sticks pretty well to parts that have only been cleaned well, but I don't want to find out in a couple of weeks that none of it really stuck.

Thanks

I painted the chasis of my Volvo when I built it. Just gave everything a good clean then used Halfords paints on it. Several years on and it's still fine.

@morrisey0 This is going to be more a display?  If so you're probably fine just using Tamiya Primer and paint of your choice. 

I rarely paint my chassis...and when I do, I only paint in a location I know it will not get scuffed/chipped..
