i don't rub down with 1200 until its primed, i.e sand the plastic with 600 then prime, then sand inbetween coats of primer with 1200.
just the way i been doing it.....prob don't matter.

and dont use white spirit, its oil based, used paint thinners.
there is abosolutely no need to leave it over night. i have always sprayed my car after the primer has been on about half hour.
