If you read and follow the instructions with care, noting the differences between them and what most rattle can paints require, you will learn that degreasing with mineral spirits or the like is a no-no. So do not do that. Do not prime. Do not do anything whatsoever beyond what are in the instructions. AND GIVE PROPER DRY TIMES ON BOTH ENDS. Do NOT respray after it says, or before it says, and ALLOW SEVEN DAYS MINIMUM BEFORE USING PART AT ALL. Seven days is the correct cure time. If you fail in any of these steps it will scratch and peel like you would expect plastic car parts to scrape and peel. If you do your job properly this stuff is FANTASTIC. I am re-doing the color of all my interior plastics in my 2003 Jeep Wrangler with this paint. It should be safe from UV, rain, dirt, gravel, etc. as I did the plastic wheel covers on my 2001 Honda Accord. They have been painted with this stuff (and in regular use) on my car for about seven months now, with no visible damage whatsoever. No blisters, no scrapes, no gouges, no peeling, no discoloration. They look GREAT. The finish is a dull semi-gloss, but they make this paint in a clear that works well and is just as tough.
My wheel covers were poorly repainted by the dealership as a part of hiding all the crap in our two-year off-lease Certified, Pre-Owned car. It started to peel right away. Also, it was a brighter silver than the factory paint. When we repainted the 2001 car with a 2013 Civic color (Blue Dyno Pearl 2) the ratty wheel covers looked particularly sad. It was actually rather tragic. I promised myself to buy some nice alloy rims. And then I ran out of money for this project. So I decided to refinish the plastic covers that came on the steelies. (I painted the rims, too, but with a different pant, of course.) The long and the short of it is that I actually like these things now, so what was to be an inexpensive way to get by until alloy rims could be bought have now moved the rims to the "whenever I get to them" type of purchase. The repainted rims and covers came out nice. The color was a brushed nickel, I think. I would have liked it a bit lighter, but the silver was out of stock at the time of my purchase. With the dark blue paint they look pretty good, though, so who really cares? This some excellent plastic paint if you follow the written procedures, which, again, are not like what you may be expecting. Very highly recommended!
