Prep Needed to Paint a CHAD?
I want to put some paint on the lower portion of my CHAD windshield. Is there any necessary prep to do before getting the rattle can out

I wouldn't think you would need anything more than Windex and a microfiber cloth if you are using paint intended for plastic.

I used a paint pen straight over some scratches, fully expecting to have to pull the screen and do it properly, and so far it shows no sigh of peeling.
I guess if it is clean and grease free, that is good enough.

Well since he is "bodymanpainter" I suspect I would go with what he says.

I would be careful about using Windex unless there is one specifically made for plastic. Windex can damage plastic. There are many cleaners at auto stores specifically formulated for plastic.

I used a non-ammonia cleaner w/micro fiber cloth to clean, masked the area not being painted, then painted the inside of the shield with Rustoleum. I wish I'd have thought about scuffing it up a little...that seems like a good idea.
Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...
