Do i need plastic primer?

[Private Pile]

Hi, i've got a bit of trim on my car which has faded from black to light grey. Autoglym doesn't help. I'm thinking of painting it satin black from a rattle can. Do i need to use a primer?

Thanks
Gordon

Yes, assuming its black plastic and not painted black that has faded.

Alloypaints.com do the plastic primer and satin black in cans I think.

You'll need to clean it well first,if it's been treated with any kind of silicon based 'black to black' product.

Try heating it up with a heatgun first, should bring the colour back
