Sanding gets rid of the old orange. Being a new unpainted lip there's no peel on it. So you just need to scratch the surface to help adhesion thus why you scotch it.
Don't give your bad advice if you don't know.

Oh right, i'll ask my local paint shop when i have time, in the meantime i tried googling green scotch brite and it came up as a sponge looking thing, is that right? =\
I was thinking of just applying 1 to 2 coats of primer then just apply the paint and then clear coat
yeah but they have grey ones too,theyre finer abrasive
Don't bother. Doesn't need primer.Quote:

It thoroughly until full matte then buy a plastic primer in a can. K&H have it. It's just a clear primer for plastic that you don't need to rub. Do not let the primer dry too much. Wait a few minutes then apply your colour.
Ok i will try this tomorrow thanks chauster.Quote:
