Thinking of using Dupli-Color primer,

Hi, I listed how I did it above. The plates ARE NOT ready to paint when you get them. The printer puts little groves and swirls in them. You MUST take fine glazing putty over them , sand the, down with 400 dry, then 400 wet. I used high build 2k primer, twice, wet sanding in between, then used shop primer, then did two light coats of Axalta Base, and 2 coats Axalta clear. Definitely requires good material to paint.
