If your car has the molded "grained" plastic, you can't get rid of the woodgrain...........your paint will just take it's shape..........unless you use a textured paint to cover it.
Best way is to cover it with a vinyl overlay, unless you really want just paint.......then you need to lay some putty on there to smooth it over.......a real pain too.........Maybe someone has a better idea.........?

What are you going to use for primer? I just scored an extra set for my 75. I want to airbrush them and was wondering what to use
to prime the plastic. The vinyl sounds cool because I just got this vinyl cutter. You would still want to do something with the grain. I'm thinking the primer will fill it good enough for paint or vinyl.

SEM makes a plastic primer that is for automotive use. Here's what I've done with some vinyl overlays. If you like the "carbon fiber" look, it's out there, too.
