    sand it. I didn't sand mine. Just tape off and let that paint fly.

    DO IT! I sanded my two-tone silver down and sprayed in DSG and was SO glad when i did it. you're apprehensiveness will fade away once you see how great it looks compared to before. MAN UP!

    you don't even have to sand it that much. i didn't sand the white truck at all and the bedliner stuck perfectly and didn't chip at all even with power washing it. just clean the surfaces real good and spray it on :peace: it's worth it trust me

    that stuff should stick to your factory flares pretty good. although its plastic, its textured, so its almost scuffed up (already not a smooth surface, even though the plastic itself is smooth). allow 20 min between coats, and a full hr on the final coat before you touch.
