Prime tends to help the paint stick better to plastic.. smile.gif
After u prime/surface, you need to wait 1 day(average) before do the painting job smile.gif

If not, after u paint without priming them.. later when u calar abit... whole paint come down... sweat.gif

haha..ya lo. i did that mistake b4
last time i just spray directly, a not so sticky masking tape oso enuf to rip out the paint rclxub.gif
