    Acid etch primer on plastic trim

    I have a quick question. I was told to use an acid etch primer on plastic before painting but only if it’s unpainted plastic. My Barracuda has factory red plastic trim. Is it safe to use the acid etch primer on it or would that cause the red finish to bubble? Thanks in advance.

    Installing hood hinge

    Do most members install washers between the hinge and the body’s sheet metal when installing the hinge? Also what is the best way to install the push nuts, and how snug should they be against the hinge? I thought a deep socket might work the best to push on the nut.
