Has anybody tried the Krylon Fusion plastic paint? Billed as "the world's first no-prep superbond paint for plastic". They claim "no sanding or priming, product dries in 15 minutes or less" and "bonds easily to plastic, PVC, hard vinyl, resin and more creating a durable, professional-looking finish that won't chip, peel or fade." Hype, I know, but has anybody used it?

I was wondering the same thing?

How about the Krylon Fusion plastic paint? Anyone try this on their bowties?

Anyone have any comments on durability in the exterior elements?

I used an adhesion promoter, then duplicolor, finished with a clear coat. Turned out great!

Yes, airbrushed the bowtie.

This is a quote from one of the threads I linked............

I used Krylon to paint a terra cota colored plastic flower pot dark green. It worked great. There's been no loss of paint or fading.
