    Think ur right m8...cos i used the plastokote stuff on the cuttle on the hybrid and within a year it had peeled, so i suppose u need some kind of prep/primer.

    yeah id prep first.

    we are doing my g/f's bumpstrips at the moment, and the process we are doing is :

    1)sand to rough surface
    2)use a bumper prep to clear surface of any residue or polish etc
    3)use plastic primer - allows surface to flex slightly
    4)any spray paint desired
    5)laquer - wont be needed on scuttle id doubt

    I just gave mine a wash and gave them a coating of Halfords;

    Satin Black

    Came up a treat and still holding out very well. I didnt do any prep.

    I used SATIN on wipers and scuttle and MATT BLACK on bumper strips and inserts. All halfords own versions.
