Believe it or not, I bought a quart of premix from oreilly's auto parts. No paint shop in town had semi gloss clear besides the SEM stuff. I already had the back base coat and just needed the top clear and the one paint shop only put the SEM stuff in aerosol cans, I wanted to use my hvlp gun. It's close to a year now and it still looks great.

You could use the semi gloss right over the plastic. I had painted my dash pieces body color to see how it looked. I baked the clear coat after I put it on and the plastic outgassed and bubbles the clear. I had to have it sand blasted , so I painted it black , it was wanda base color.
Steps were:
Sandblast
Plastic primer
Base coat
Clear coat
Steps were:

Wow I just started the stripping of this crap coating - it's a long process isn't it - just to strip the ash tray door took an hour - isn't there anything quicker - I don't have access to a bead blaster.

Dulsa removal
Right out of the bottle. Its water based so it has no effect on plastic. It really dries our your hands but a little hand cream takes care of that. I use this stuff for everything. Cleans oil from concrete and that's hard to do.

Non acetone nail polish remover. Put it in a spray bottle, spray the surface, watch the dulso crinkle up, wipe down with a paper towel. Make sure it's acetone free though. Otherwise it'll attack the plastic. Easy peasy. Takes no time to do that way

Well I tried the nail polish removal - sucked, tried the purple power - ha waste of time - ended up sanding the crap off since I have no access to a bead blaster - which I think would be the only idea way to go - just a guess. So I sanded this sh&$ off and will paint tomorrow - having a couple stiff drinks to relax from today's BS.
