So, is this stuff any good?
Does it realy fuse to plastic?'
Is Krylon the only one that makes this type of paint?

I used Krylon Fusion on some Rubbermaid buckets a couple years ago to make robot heads for Halloween. It worked really well and seems pretty durable. It did chip in a few spots so I don't think it "fused" with the plastic but it was a good paint.

I've heard a coat of adhesion promoter with help on some plastics (like vinyl) with other paints.
Something like this (not necessarily this brand):

I think it works extremely well - but that may be the type of plastic I tried it on.

I built a PVC bike rack for the back of my truck, and I painted the bars silver...no primer per the directions on the can. It adhered extremely well - and looks like metal. It is chipping a bit where I put the tires in, but I have to JAM the tires in pretty hard to get them into the rack. Therefore, for normal / light use, I think the Fusion is very good.

Seems like the nozzles on those cans are also better than the average ones - I thought the paint went on very smoothly...
