   Jim – Thanks so much for posting this.I am in the process of building a
   cooler stereo and have 2 questions for you.

   1.) I am using some plastic kitchen cutting boards as dividers on the
   inside and want to paint them. Will this process help with adhesion
   of the paint?
   2.) I will be painting the rubbermaid cooler split lid to resemble my State
   Flag. To prep it, will this process work as well?

   Thanks for the fantastic info.

   Do you personally charge more or the same for a part that needs to be flame
   treated?

   What’s your thoughts on plastic gas tanks and painting them, same method.
   They are made of polyethylene.

   Hey I’m having a hat time treating a Yeti cooler it’s made of PE, I heard
   that’s harder to treat, any suggestions. I have been flame treating it…

   So you prep via this method and then use some kind of primer. Do the
   resulting primer and paint have to be plastic specific?

   Fantastic video Jim,
   Would I use the same process for painting fender flares??
   Not sure if the material is the same type plastic as body parts?

    for industrial painting on PUR: first MIPA P85 and than treating with a
    fueller, and then primering, and then again checking for small holes whcih
    you have to level again withe mipa and fueller. PUR is a trying plastic
    toi pâint!!! do you have recommendations for the holes you see once
    painted?

    computer case. Please and thank you :D

    do you have any excellent recommendations for a spray paint can on polyurethane
    that has been heat treated I’m early out small so I do not yet have an
    air compresser and airgun yet… I’m dipping a Yeti cooler lid in
    camouflage.

    I dont have the money to go buy a $200 set on fire like the one you are using. Do
    you reckon a hair dryer twisted on high heat would work as long as I see the
    plastic change affect?

    Jim how do I find out what plastic I’m heat treating. I have several under
    hood plastic pieces I’m doing in my tank. Might be the ABS.

    Is this a excellent thought for a power wheels? Wondering if im ok to just use
    adhesion promoter then krylon fusion, sure would be a lot of work, but if
    its going to be surpass in the long run, then I will do it.

    I use a heat gun for restoring my bumper, would that work on this instead
    of a flame ?

    Thanks man!
    Are you using enamel for your base/clear? Assuming this is a hydro dip.
    If so, from a gun or can?
