Another paint question
Didn't get by paint store for a question so I'll ask here.
Does the plastic stuff(bags, side covers,) require use of a flex additive for the primer?? 1997 FLHT
The outer fairing appears to be a different material. Not gray in color on the inside and just feels different. Thinner and more flexible.
I know such things as bumper covers (auto) do.
Not ready to primer just yet. Sides it's raining here and humidity is way up.
Thanks WP

no as said before not needed for side covers bags fairings etc. They are rigid enough that flex wont be a issue for stresscracks in the paint to form. If your using a adhesion promoter make SURE it is compatable with your paint even if your told it is test it on something aside from the parts ask me how it feels to have to resand and respray with custom mixed metallic at $400 a sprayable gallon

From what I have been told on here and a fella that did some repair on one of bags that are plastic.
In the previous thread the first part of Feb. it was mentioned the bags are something called SMC plastic. To the best of my knowledge they are the OEM bags that came on it. They are the gray color inside and will leave white looking marks on most things carried in them if not protected.

Now he didn't say what kind of plastic he thought they are.
