I am trying to respray the plastic surrounds for the rear lights. I was sold a product called Pro Form TPO adhesion promoter. I used it according to instructions which involves leaving it for 10 mins then applying the top coat(acrylic) I had problems with blooming of the clear coat because the weather got cold and damp. I tried to fix the white spots with a bit of thinner then a heat gun when the finish started to pull away I pulled the paint off and the primer underneath was sticky.  I would like some advice on the best way to respray the thing as I still have enough of the metalic grey top coat, what would be the correct primer to use I dont think the stuff I used is the right one and is there anything else I should know.

Just start over....

Wipe down with prepsol, then a decent etch primer, then a gun metal enamel ...you can really get some excellent gloss from some of the aerosols these days. Dont complicate it.

I bought some the carbonfibre rear taillight panel from MMA. $250.00 + postage and it looks awesome
