Painting over vinyl

[Rich Jones]

So I’m about to shoot clear on my boat and I used a vinyl decal for the windshield on the cowl. It’s rather shiny and I’m concerned about adhesion. I’ve read a couple schools of thought. 1.) spray a light mist over it and let it flash. Then paint the cowl with normal passes. 2.). Hit it with some fine sandpaper to leave some teeth and then paint normally. I’m concerned this may damage the decal.

I’m using Spraymax 2K in a can. Any thoughts?

Spray Max works just fine over vinyl with no problems just be sure to remove any oils or any residue...

Even better. I’ll hit it with some wax and grease remover and have at it! Thanks Robert!

Just did my backlash...rough it up with 400 wet, then cleaned it with the wax and grease remover. then hit it with the 2k...came out nice
