    thanks for the info,
    went to NAPA yesterday and with my paint code, they were able to make my onyx black paint in a can... which i think is pretty cool and seperate can of clear.
    The surface of the areas I wanna paint are pretty smooth already, im wondering if a scuff pad will be enough "sanding" to get some primer on them?

    I did all the wood grain in my wife's vehicle which is same interior as yours. I used steel wool to ruf it up and then used Krylon's Plastic Fusion paint and clear. Seems to be holding up great so far. The chevy onyx black is cool, when I sprayed my harley myself, that is what I had mixed up...Good Luck.

    started sanding yesterday
    put the promoter and started priming/sanding/priming/sanding this afternoon...... i work mornings so daylight isnt very much. right now im concentrating on the a/c vent on the driver side where the light switch is on.
    the plastic around the radio is also sanded down, needs a bit more before i can spray on the adhesion promoter. will be posting up pics when im done with the driver side a/c vent, hopefully by tomorrow night.

    Im using the filler primer, then sand it down smooth, then more filler primer. After about 4 sets, when i look closely, looks like theres a bunch of little pores.
    Any help? it feels smooth to the touch. Should I keep spraying primer, and sand it down untill I cant see the pores anymore?

    Im unsure if I should just spray another 2 coats of promoter and straight to paint, then clear. HELP!!!!
