    Like the title says, I just picked up a paint kit from automotive touch up to try and diy color match some aftermarket bumper caps. Any advice from people who have done this themselves?
    Should I use plastic adhesion promoter?
    How many coats of primer/base/clear?

    thanks in advance!

    Take your time,,, and the base paint maybe like three coats apply in lite coats. And yes use the adhesion primer. Good luck.

    Thanks! I was curious on the base coat application, and I was thinking 3 would be good.
