[QUOTE="stang910, post: 16372899, member: 103203"] You really shouldn't sand raw plastic even though you can if done correctly. Raw plastic gets deep scratches pretty easy and will require you to prime it before painting. Even a red or gray scotch brite can put scratches in raw plastic deep enough to need priming. If your gentle with it a gray scotch brite will work, but gold is actually what your supposed to use. Now if your going to prime it with 2k primer you can sand the part as best as you can, but it's a lot easier to scuff it, spray adhesion promoter and then sand the primer smooth and reprime if needed. It's crazy to me that no shop will do this for you. Collision shops paint raw plastic parts regularly. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap though. [/QUOTE]
