I have sucessfully touched up a couple stone chips on the metal surface, but have trouble getting my touch paint to adhere to a spot my plastic bumber. I am thinking about trying House of Kolors adhesion promoter AP-01 or AP-02.

Ap-01 is for ThermoPlastic Polypropylene
Ap-02 is for Polyethelyne.

Can someone tell me the construction of the stock nose on the S?
(or an any other appropriate method of doing this?)

Thanks in advance,

Keith

interesting- have not heard of the honda paint having adherence problems...
what is it doing? not spreading over the area?
is the area completely clean (dewaxed and all protectant products removed)?

I used honda touchup paint on the clearly defined chips on my hood. By clearly defined I mean a small chip of paint was missing. This left a depression which could be easily filled with a small drop of paint, allowed to dry and sanded down. It seems as if the surrounding original paint "held the new paint in position to dry".

The ding I received on my front bumper was more of a crater. The rock hit the nose and depressed the area of highest impact loading. The surrounding area appears to have "risen up a level higher than the original bumper". I used a 2000 grit block to reduce this higher level back down to the original. In doing so I exposed the "Black (?) bumper material under the paint".

I now have a very small depression surrounded by a black ring of original bumper material. I can fill the depression with paint, but after drying the paint on the "black surface" is easily removed. It seems to come off quite easily when sanded. I am hoping the adhesion promoter will help this situation.

If anyone has a good idea, I will try it. If I screw up my bumper I'll take it to a pro later... BTW, I have an Iwata airbrush & Sata Minijet 4. Tell me how to do it right and I'll try...
