Going to be doing my plastics with this stuff.

I used the BBQ paint they do on my scooter engine and wheel rims and it looks fantastic!

Going to use the Primer, Topcoat and an Acrylic Varnish.

Will post up the results ..

I havent used this Super stuff before now ..

The BBQ paint only ran if it was put on too strong.

I reckon this stuff is probably the same tbh ..

Unless you recommend something else?

aerosol's are aerosol's

fine for basecoating anything although if your going to use a clear over the top of a gloss one you'll have to wet sand the gloss off.

two main reasons you cant get a decent finish off aerosol's though is that 1. the paint is in a pressurized container and is kept a lower temperature than you really want, 2. the spray pattern out of aerosol nozzles is round and a pain in the ass for odd shaped items.

all that said, unless you want to invest a few hundred quid in a compressor and painting equipment they do the job fine, although i think paint aerosols are just a little over priced.
