The orange color was good, but even with the primer, it didn't take well to the plastic

That orange does look good. Which primer did you wind up using?

I used the Glidden Gripper, white with primer

Give that 2X Primer a shot. It will adhere to plastic. Just to bad it doesn't come in brush-on form.

I may if it really bothers me, but I think I can live with it...

I did the inside, and it really bubbled...I just hate having to sand it off and then start over

That looks good! Patience you have.

Looks great! Plastic can be a pain in the back side.

Next time you want to paint some plastic use "Insl-X STIX" primer. I've used it many times it works great just be sure to lightly sand and then wipe the surface down with acetone before applying.

No problem. Wish I could have told you about this sooner. Also applying a oil based top coat will be more durable and last longer although a bit more difficult to work with.

no worries, reading the link, I should have sanded the primer before painting and I didn't...probably why it looks rippled when your up close

With a surface like PVC it's more important to sand and wipe down with acetone to get rid of all contaminates before applying any type of primer or paint
