My old Rover uses those push on screw caps of the type that grip in the
slots of a Pozidriv head - and some are missing. Now they're readily
available in the sheds, but not in the grey colour I need.

Dunno what they're made of, but ordinary oil paint doesn't bond as it does
to drainpipes.

I've tried Halfords vinyl paint and that falls off too. Any suggestions?
Preferably in aerosol form.

Plasticoat aerosol paint


Beat me to it, should be available in any car paint factors, they
might even be able to put it into an aerosol if it's not already.

Dave, if you have problem sourcing it yourself ask the people who you
are using for the cars re-spray - failing that, contact me off list
(you do have my new BT email address?).

Have you tried somewhere like Isaac Lord ?

Plasticoat aerosol paint

No better than the paint for vinyl from Halfords. Flex the button slightly
and it flakes off.

I'm now trying a clear undercoat for plastics from Loctite - but it says
'not for soft plastics'. I'll leave everything to dry overnight before
testing.

Just to say this one works as a primer with the Plasticoat as top. Has
stuck as well as any paint ever does.
