You don't have to use a special paint. All that is required to paint plastic is flex agent. That is what we call it anyway. I have a diplomia in ACR (automotive collision repair) so that is why I know why not to go to macco. Macco tries to get the cars out as fast as possible, so when they spray the felx agent on (if they even do it) they probably don't let it flash long enough, this will cause the paint not to chemically bond to the flex agent, thus making the paint crack and then peel off. And yes the two worst things about macco is the lack pf prep work and the fact that they wet sand and buff all the paint jobs to make them nice and smooth and shinny, but this takes away alot of the UV protectant which will cause the paint to dull or fade or even come off after a little time. Short answer macco will rip you off!
