I didn't use a flexible paint when I re-painted the stereo *****. I used a Silver Metallic paint I had on my garage shelf - I think it was a Ford referenced color. I did clean the ***** with a "Prepsol-like" solvent; then used soap & water as a final cleaning step. Once dry, I sprayed the ***** with an adhesion promoter that I get really good results when painting plastic parts. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I then sprayed with the Silver Metallic paint. Final coat was a clearcoat for protection. Time will tell how the paint holds up.
