When painting hard plastic parts such as mirrors and your grill surround, do you use an adhesion promoter, or do you just use primer. Some help would be appreciated quickly. Sorry if this is in the wrong section

I used adhesive promoter then primer. I also use the same paint supplier as recommended above. Color was spot on. Just read the directions and prep. I did my grill and mirror caps, getting ready to do my head lights
The spray paint. No more then I had to paint it seemed like a better option.
I painted everything about mid January and installed it all about 10 days later. I hand wash, and use a pressure washer. Ive had bugs, road grime and mud all over them. They still look like new. I didn't wax them till after a month as the instructions on the clear coat state.
Mine are paint matched and I sanded them down completely smooth then adhesion promoter and then primer. They turned out pretty goodWhen you did your mirrors, did you sand them down smooth, then adhension promote...prime....paint...then clear? Or did you skip the sanding? Im trying to figure out if the primer will fill in the texture and come out smooth after wet sanding the primer down.
