    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Okay went to prime my plastic parts last nite and discovered the stuff I got was junk. Good thing I just tested it on one small piece. Off to find some thing better.
 
What was the stuff you used? I've used both Bulldog Adhesion Propmoter as well as Duplicolor's and have good luck with both. Duplicolor tends to atomize, better, though.

Well, let's just say my learning curve on painting my bike is a steep one so far. I just picked up some new stuff from NAPA, $30 a can, better be worth it. Martin Senour paints makes it. NAPA 6246 Plastic adhesion promoter-clear. I'm right about this, no primer over this if you use it right? Gotta sand off the junk so I can use this.
 
A bit of advice I was given was wipe plastic with alcohol after sanding.It gets rid of the chemicals that sanding plastic brings to the surface.

Well the new stuff worked pretty damn good. I'm happy happy happy now lol. All the parts get a thorough wash job when sanding is done. Though if I believe there is still something on the part then it gets wiped down with some acetone then washed again.
 
Still need to use primer with adhesion promoter. Clean plastic part, apply adhesion promotor,prime,fill,sand,reprime as needed,sand as needed,clean,topcoat,clearcoat if desired.
