Im planning a DIY spray job on my plastics (fog surrounds and grill etc) but unsure what primer to use because of the textured surfaces?

I sprayed my L200 plastics a few years ago and i used a primer/filler all in one rattle can is this stuff still about?

Any ideas?

I used a normal plastic primer but sanded them down first to get rid of the nasty texture, if you're doing them in gloss then the difference between sanded and none is amazing.

Im lazy and dont want to sand but want a good finish, hence the filler primer. its just a bit thicker than regular primer.

any one on here work at halfrauds that can have a look?

IDK where your looking, but it's not that much.

And when u use primer and normal spray it evens out the costs.
