I sprayed my console today.

I used Triclean and it took several applications and rubbing before cloth would stay clean - I think I was removing the black dye!

Then, I went to use the primer (PC Plastic Coater Primer from WU) . Right on the container, it says "For plastic and trim only - do not use on vinyl"

My old console was brittle where it has been in sun, so I thought it was a molded hard plastic. But it is actually a soft material and is probably vinyl.

WU's statement that dashes etc need a primer is confusing:

Classic dye is not formulated to refinish flexible plastics, such as dashes, consoles, kick pads, without a bonding coat. Adhesion to a clean plastic surface after the application of a bonding coat is excellent.

I decided not to use the primer, but have no idea what WU really recommend
