Plastic primer is clear and will do exactly what you need to make the laquer stick.

and I thought the course surface of the brushed ally would make the clearcoat stick/grip

[baz-r]

lots of paint dont like sticking to ally that is why etch prime is a must (no good for clear)

rule is if its a soft metal paint will not like sticking to it

Couldnt possibly use that chrome stuff I'd be setting the fields on fire on a sunny day

Mrs Vmax might be interested though ---probably the shiny pink
