Plastic Adhesion Promoter

DupliColor has done it again! This stuff is honestly a game-changer. So far, I’ve used it for repainting my Mazda emblems/badges (I jumped on the blackout bandwagon, no regrets!), as well as to help prep for a clear sealant coat on a craft project. Admittedly, it worked better on the car badges, but I can only assume that’s because I was able to sand before spraying this. It still worked great for both, and I certainly couldn’t have gotten durable results on the craft project without this, but a light pre-sanding is the way to go whenever possible. For the craft project, I needed to seal some vinyl lettering on a small metal sign. I bought it from the store pre-painted, and I’m not sure what type of paint was used, but it’s very durable and very smooth. Pre-scuffing before applying the vinyl wasn’t an option, and I was nervous that the clear coat would peel from the painted surface, so after applied the lettering, I sprayed it down with I think 3 light coats of this product. After applying several coats of a triple thick clear coat and letting it cure for a week, I have had ZERO issues with anything. No flaking, peeling, lifting or adhesion failure at all. And the adhesion promoter is crystal clear and goes on so smooth that you can’t even tell it’s under the clear coat. It lays down REALLY well; doesn’t leave any weird texture or anything, and a little goes a long way (at least, for my smaller jobs; I can’t really speak to the coverage per can on larger jobs like auto body panels/bumpers/etc.) I just bought another can of it as I’m planning to paint my clear acrylic makeup organizers when I refinish my vanity. I WILL say, though - this stuff has a VERY strong smell that lingers, so make sure you’re using it in a well ventilated area with a good crossflow of air, and wear a high quality respirator mask with clean filters rated for organic vapors. I like the 3M 6001 with the kit that allows you to clip on a P95-P100 filter in front of the vapor filter. The strong smell is really the only downside to this stuff, but it’s worth ‘fumigating’ the garage for final results that look great and hold up extremely well! I’ve not once bought a DupliColor product and wound up disappointed or underwhelmed. There are MANY reasons why the DIY automotive community consistently recommends their products, and this hella smelly miracle in a rattle can is one of ‘em!

I've been trying this Dupli-Color adhesion promoter to prep my car for a fresh paint job, and it works pretty well. the spray can makes application smooth and even, which is handy when you're working on a larger surface. i used it on some scratched areas and it seemed to help the new paint stick better. however, i wish the spray could be a bit finer because sometimes it sprayed slightly thick layers. also, the can size is decent but might run out quicker if you're doing extensive repairs. overall, it's a helpful product if you're looking to improve paint adhesion and want something easy to apply. 😊 just keep in mind it’s not a miracle solution, but it does the job as intended.

I recently used the Dupli-Color ECP199 Adhesion Promoter before painting my car, and I’m really impressed with the results. This product works exactly as advertised, providing excellent adhesion for automotive paint. I used it on plastic trim and metal parts, and the paint went on so much smoother and more evenly than when I didn’t use it. The aerosol can makes it super easy to apply, and the clear formula means no visible color change on the surface. I noticed the paint adhered much better, with no peeling or chipping after several weeks of exposure to the elements. It dries fast, and I was able to apply multiple coats of paint without worrying about the primer disrupting the finish. The 11 oz. can provides plenty of coverage, and the price is reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommend this for anyone planning to paint automotive parts — it definitely makes a difference in the longevity and quality of the finish!

I used this adhesion promoter as part of a small automotive touch-up project before applying color and clear coat. The main surfaces I worked on were plastic trim pieces, and it seemed to do exactly what it’s designed to do—help the paint bond better. The spray goes on easily and dries fairly quickly, which makes it convenient when you’re layering primer, paint, and clear coat in the same project. The fan spray nozzle gives decent coverage and makes it easier to apply an even coat without concentrating too much in one spot. Since this product is essentially a preparation layer, it’s a little hard to “see” its effect directly. That said, the paint applied over it appears to be adhering well and the finish looks smooth so far. Nothing has lifted or peeled, which suggests it’s doing its job. In terms of value, the can goes a reasonably long way since you only need a light coat to improve adhesion, so one can should be enough for several small projects or touch-ups. The spray itself is quite thin, which is actually helpful because it lays down evenly without building up thickness that could affect the final paint finish. It also blends well with the surface and creates a uniform base layer for the top coat, making the paint job look smoother overall. Overall, it seems to work as intended and is a useful step if you’re painting plastic or other surfaces where paint adhesion can sometimes be tricky. For DIY automotive touch-ups, it’s a simple extra step that likely improves the final result.

Used dupli colour adhesion promoter, fabric paint and clear coat to paint some interior trim pieces on my 7 year old car. Only did it a week ago but it turned out great. Really happy with the product.
