Anyone have experience prepping abs plastic to take oneshot. I was thinking laquer thinner, steel wool and then using my airbrush to spray on the one shot.

Yikes! Don't use the laquer thinner! It'll soften up most plastics and melt the finish. Tanslation: The surface turns into goo.
Look for some X-I-M at a local paint supplier's. Good adhesion promoter that takes all kinds of paints. Since your already spraying, Krylon Fusion might be an option. The colors are limited, but makes a good base for the One Shot to stick to.
Hope this helps... Rapid

yes, the main thing is give the surface a little tooth with a 3m scouring pad or your steel wool and remove the imputities with anything like alcohol or stronger. Works well! I still have old panels that stayed well through 2 years of a major circus tour!
