Default Painting My Bumpers Black. Here we go

Whats up guys. Havent been on here in awhile and thought i would stop by. Going to be painting my front and rear bummps black this weeken to match truck. I know there has beem lots of post on plastic dip and its whats im using to paint mine since everyone has have good luck with it. Any tips of how to go about this. I know you dont have to sand with this stuff but im thinking It cant hurt to sanding the bumpers first and then using self eching primer then lots of coats of the plastic dip. Thinking it will stick better with sanding and using the primer. what do you guys think? Any better way or is that a good proccess? Hope the plastic dip works as good as you people say.

I know you dont have to sand with this stuff but i just thought it would be better to sand and prime. I want to make sure its sticks well and looks nice. I want it to last and look good on truck you know. maybe i wont sand. i just dont want to skip it and then in a few days it chips and flakes.
