I'm planning on colour coding the rear bumper tomorrow, i have the correct colour paint and the lacquer,
I have primer fill also, my question is will i still need plastic primer or will the primer fill do the job?
thanks

Don't mean to be rude - BUT - If you have a spray booth at work, therefore your work must carry out some sort of body repairs/ spraying service wouldn't they know the correct primer to use?

When spraying onto plastic you should always use a plastic primer to get the adhesion to the surface from my days in bodywork

The spray booth in work is for furniture... Timber.
Just to be safe I'll use plastic primer first.

Just picked up the plastic primer and gave the first coat,
Peace of mind...
Flattening the little dimples takes a while,
And that's with an orbital sander!
