Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

With apologies to brucedownunder for lateness:

Bunnings sell a product called "Grip-Lock Primer" by a company with the name of "White Knight". Sticks to tiles, laminated surfaces, glossy surfaces and PVC pipes, it is claimed.

I can confirm it sticks to the outside of the F&P rotor.

A painter friend of mine etches plastics with acetone prior to painting.
I've used tile paint once, it works well, it's similar to paint with a blend of glue(aquadhere) in it.

Thanks crew, Dennis latham told me about a fler/primer that they use in the car painting industry. Sticks to plastic .

I've tried USB,a product that must be similar,because I painted over it and I can't scratch off the paint with my finger nail.
Another trick I tried was the pvc pipe primer,very cheap in bunnings, it seems to work well also before you apply plastibond or car bog.

Both of the above products go on like a coat of water,so they are not fillers.
