Subject:Painting ABS bumpers

I know there are some who've painted ABS plastic parts on various vans and
vehicles.  What's the drill?  You need an additive in the paint?  You need a
special paint?  What kind of undercoat or primer works?  I'm good with paint
and epoxy stuff but I have limited experience finishing new modern ABS body
panels and I need to do that.  A little thin on Vanagon content, other than
many Vans have 'fiberglass bumpers' that is most likely really ABS and they
have been painted by Listees..  Also, the interior parts on the dash and
stuff, those are ABS also...

  Thanks in advance  Don Hanson
