    maier dull plastic.....can it be clear coated shiny?

    just like it says. i'm interested in some older style dull plastic that is used. i was wondering if i could wet sand it with all the proper steps and grits and clear coat it to make it shiny?

    I tried clear coat and mine fllacked off easily. what are you useing?

    I would assume you can paint plastic easy as long as it doesn;t flex too much.

    The new Fusion paint from krylon is awesome for plastic.Bonds better than anything I've ever seen.I don't think it comes in a clear,but it does come in bright red,yellow and black.
