so today I sanded down all the plastic parts on my scooter to repaint.
I went to the local hardware store and specifically asked for plastic primer from krylon. employee brought me back a multi purpose indoor/outdoor krylon primer and insisted it was the product I needed.
I come home lay down a base coat of primer, look at the back of the can and don't see plastic mentioned as one of the options I may use this on (Wood, Metal, Wicker, Glass, Plaster, Ceramic, Fabric, Paper, Paper Mache). I check out the KRYLON Website and see that there is a seperate product for Krylon Plastic Primer all together. I'm both enraged and scared that I may have ruined the parts of this elite scooter.
Did I just potentially do something really bad to the scooter by using a multi purpose primer, or is it OK for me to use one base coat and then 2-3 coats of the actual Plastic Primer as well??
should I try to remove the multi purpose primer at this point? if so, by sanding down or buying a paint thinne/etc any ideas?
or is it OK to continue with this kind of primer, maybe I can do some extra coats and then finish it out with krylon plastic paint, and clear gloss finish
Here is what I was given:

% of a good paint job so make sure you have a smooth and clean finish before you ever apply paint .
