Thanks Q!
Well the adhesion aid worked a treat, I coudnt even rip the paint off with duct tape! And as hard as I scratched with a toothpick did nothing either. Very pleased ;D

Looking nice man. Maybe I missed it, but what is adhesion aid? Is it like a special primer?

Thanks, yeah it's basicaly a spray that go's on before the primer to allow the paint to stick to odd types of plastic

Jaitea, without your guidance I could have never of got this paint to work! Thank you mate.
