Methods and systems for coating articles having a plastic substrate

A method for coating an article comprising a plastic substrate, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. applying a first composition comprising an adhesion promoting agent to at least a portion of the substrate;
• b. applying a second composition comprising an adhesion promoting agent over at least a portion of the composition applied in step (a);
• and
• c. applying a protective and decorative coating system over at least a portion of the compositions applied in steps (a) and (b),
• wherein the first composition and the second composition are different and wherein at least one of the first and second compositions is applied to the substrate by wiping and wherein the adhesion promoting agent comprise a halogenated polyolefin that is modified by grafting a compatibilizing material onto the polyolefin.

A method for coating an article comprising a plastic substrate, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. applying a composition comprising an adhesion promoting agent to at least a portion of a plastic substrate by a first application technique;
• and
• b. applying a protective and decorative coating system over at least a portion of the composition applied in step (a),
• wherein the protective and decorative coating system comprises a coating layer deposited from a coating composition that comprises an (i) adhesion promoting agent comprising a halogenated polyolefin, and (ii) a resin that is compatible with the adhesion promoting agent, and
• wherein the coating layer is deposited by an application technique that is the same as or different from the first application technique.

A system for coating an article comprising a plastic substrate comprising:

• a. a cleaning tool;
• b. means for applying a composition comprising an adhesion promoting agent to at least a portion of the substrate by a first application technique;
• c. means for applying a composition comprising an adhesion promoting agent to at least a portion of the substrate by a second application technique that is different from the first application technique;
• and
• d. means for applying a protective and decorative coating system to at least a portion of the substrate.
