Kari, thanks for this video! Seems a primed surface wouldn´t harm when working with those paints?
Watching it I am tempted to place an order on some of them!

... so I became also curious to see what happens if it's painted straight and directly on plastic..
Simply had to test it myself..

And voilá; a 30 second long videoclip to be seen below...
Now even narrated... :-)

Thanks for the video Kari, I too, think I'll get some down the road, making sure that the "bad" batches that are out there are gone. I will say that I like the look after it goes down. I too, find that priming is definitely a good idea, just that added layer of security in my mind, but that is just me.

What about leaving the tape (or tack) on overnight or even a couple days? Will it have any effect on it? Curious to find out...

As a result watching you testing those colours I just placed an order myself. I also ordered their specific "Extreme Cleaner".
