Default Doing some painting this weekend. HELP!

I am going to attempt to paint my stock lip and side skirts this weekend. I picked up a can of adehsion promoter, but am not sure how to use it. Do I spray it on before I primer, or on top of the primer before I paint? If anyone has used this stuff please help me out. thanks,.

You shouldn't need that stuff. Just sand the lip and sideskirts really well with 400 and then 600. You want them smooth, but the scratches from the 400 and 600-grit sandpaper is what will help the primer stick. You don't really have to use 600 if you don't want to, but the finish will end up smoother at the end if you do.

Spray on the primer, let it dry overnight, then wetsand that with 400 and then 600. Again, same comment about the 600 being optional.

After it fully dries, start with the painting.
