Can I use this on interior plastic panels?

How long should I wait between coats?

Troubleshooting
Paint is bubbling or lifting
Usually indicates the surface was not properly cleaned or primed; sand the area down and re-apply on a clean, compatible primer.
Texture looks uneven or 'orange peel'
Reduce the thickness of your coats and ensure you are keeping the spray distance consistent.
Poor adhesion
Ensure the plastic surface was sanded with a fine-grit abrasive to promote mechanical bonding before applying primer.
