chalky plastic panels

Thanks for the pointers momo! I think I can do that. :-D

For what it's worth, this old trike is now like brand new with a bunch of new parts -- i.e., the plastic and rubber stuff I couldn't coat -- it hasn't been touched yet let alone fallen over in the driveway! The coating should last for years even with abuse from tiny feet, but that paint I tried first didn't seem to last ten minutes.

Is there a recommended primer for plastic? Last time when I used the Duplicolor I preceded it with a $10 can of automotive Paint Prep (which I'd assume turned out to be a waste of money).

Thanks again for the help! < hugs >
