    Painting cladding?

    I have to paint my cladding before I dip them so was wondering if I need to use an adhesion promotor like you do with polypropalyne plastics? Thanx
    I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus mashed potatoes and gravy!

    Not sure what you mean by "dip them", but yes, you should use an adhesion promoter before painting plus flex-additive in the topcoat. Also a good flexible primer like DP90 is a great place to start also. If all this sounds old-school, I apologize...
