| Re: Using touch up paint. As an aside, I've a large chip on my plastic grill. I bought the touch-up kit, but as the grill is plastic should I be using a plastic primer before applying the paint as I assume the primer in the kit is for metal?

| Re: Using touch up paint. i would have thought so but i dont know enough as to how much a metal primer would grip on the plastic. you may get away with it if its small.

| Re: Using touch up paint. Clean the area with white spirit until you think it's spotless then do it again. you're beter safe than sorry as paint wont' stick to wax, sealant or any kind of road grime!!!
