[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6158661, member: 591579"] Clean it thoroughly too before you spray anything on it to get the oils and grease off the surface. Soap and water, alcohol, something along those lines. Id scuff the surface but not smooth it completely, then go with a couple layers of primer, then get THAT as smooth as you can before going over it with color. If it's a real hard, stiff part that's screwed in pretty solidly I might not bother with adhesion promoter. If it's a lighter part that you can expect will flex a little bit I'd do a coat of adhesion promotor before a coat or two of primer and a clearcoat. Scuffing the surface lightly to begin with would generally be a good idea before going over it with primer. If it's a wrinkly textured surface more sanding may be necessary. If it's already smooth probably not so much. [/QUOTE]
