Good job however not telling you how to do it just giving you a pro tip. This is coming from a lifelong paint and body guy classic car restoration specialist and former shop owner always clean the surface of the material you are about to paint with a good quality cleaner before you start sanding anything on the surface when you start, sanding will be pushed down into, the surface that you have prepared I like to use spray aerosol glass cleaner, or you can just use simple soap and water. Use something like Dawn wash it dry it then scuff and sand. You would be surprised what could be on the surface that gets pushed in when you’re using sandpaper or a scuff pad and now it’s inside of those scratches and you will wind up with fish eyes or delamination

Thanks for the pro tip. I’ve seen it down like that, but I never even thought about doing it, but it makes perfect sense.

Spray can paint has come along way over the years. But preparation is the key. 👍👍

Definitely the most important step in the process.

Great job.... I treat all plastics like an ABS bumper red pad to scuff then final clean use soft scrub or go jo white hand cleaner this insures that all surfaces are sanded the cleaners act like liquid sand paper that get into every nook and cranny of the part a good brush helps to get all residue off. Bully dog make a cleaner for ABS with the same pumice that sands as it cleans but the ones I mention are a cheaper alternative and do the same job.

Actually, you should refrain from using any type of hand cleaner like that, although it has pumice in it and helps with abrasion it also has a lot of petroleum distillate and lotions with oils that get down inside of that and will eventually cause delamination, soft, scrub, barkeepers, friend comet, etc. along with that scuff pad goes along way

. Yes but hot water does wonders soft scrub and Go Jo white only will save windshield glass from scuffs and will polish both glass and plastic headlights back to New I have a few videos show this as well....soft scrub is what I use as a final wash on my plastic model cars and I get very smooth paint jobs with no fish eyes...key is a good rinse in hot water and a brush with an old toothbrush or larger brush for larger items... And always pre clean first to get all chemicals off that may have been used previously.
