you didn't^^^ i read the directions on the can, no sanding or priming, I did however go over them with alcohol before doing the deed. That promoted the addhesive process. and of course I have a picture .mail5.jpg?t=1273094050
damn cell phone pic, but you get the Idea.

Cool vid's John, but you don't need to wetsand prior to painting, only after. Actually, it's best NOT to wetsand prior because that does not gouge up the plastic enough, but fortunately you used adhesion promoter for that.
I used staright up 320grit to scuff the surface and therefore no adhesion promoter was needed. The plastic had enough "bite" to grab the vht.

HERE's a link to my tailjob...haha..if anyone was iinterested.
