    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Once you have your parts primed (ABS and or metal parts), do you need to paint soon or can it wait for some time? Days, a couple weeks or even a month?
 
Years.

I had some hardshell fiberglass saddlebags that I primered about 8 years ago then painted them about 5 years later. Still fine.

Okay cool, I can get some priming out of the way then....oh, forgot does that go for the ABS plastic adhesion promoter as well?
 
Well I can't see how it would be any different. I have never used the stuff myself and always just sprayed the primer. I've used good quality primers as well as the cheap stuff and have never had any difficulties with either. I know some guys mention using additives for painting parts that may flex like fenders but I've never used those either and again no issues.

Give it a try. Worst case you might have to sand and recoat but I'm betting it will work fine.

Good luck with it.
