Yes it's amazing how hard the paint actually gets on these bars if it's still the original paint, especially white.
Paint was silver but I think it's a VS bar cover with the 2k paint. Even paint stripper was having trouble attacking it.
I'd go 180 wet n dry but I don't want to risk creating scratches.

Most paint shops would use Hi-Fill and then rub it back before priming and painting.

I will say though with plastics it's always good to start with a blank canvas, which is what you have now.

Yep it's the Thermo Setting Enamel that Holden used in "NEPS" which was super hard. This started with VR Series II.

I'm hoping to get my father in law to prime it in plastic primer. I am yet to ask him though.....
