What happens here
Although optional, applying a primer specifically formulated for plastic or fiberglass surfaces is highly recommended. Primer creates a barrier that enhances paint adhesion, provides a uniform base for the color, and significantly improves the durability and longevity of the paint job, especially given the slide's exposure to water and sunlight. Apply an even coat of primer using a paint sprayer (or a roller/brush for smaller areas), following the manufacturer's instructions for application and drying time.
Goal: Improve paint adhesion and durability
