I painted the interior of my hardtop with SEM 39143 Trim Black paint and there is one area that the paint just will not adhere to. When I apply the paint to that area it just immediately slides right down to the lip below the window molding in the photo below and pools.
I prepped the hardtop by first scrubbing it with a 3M 7448 scuff bad that was wet with soap and water (the guy at the local auto body paint store told me to use dish soap and water to clean it). I also scrubbed it with a dry scuff pad then went over the entire top with acetone and let it dry for about 45 minutes before applying the first coat of paint.
I asked the auto body paint store guy about the problem area, and he gave me some lacquer thinner to apply but that didn't do the trick either. There has to be something on the top or embedded in it that is preventing the paint from sticking, but I can't figure out what to do about it.
Maybe use one of the SEM plastic adhesion promoter products on the problem area? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
