I have done mine with minimal sanding and leaving the rubber on it. I scuffed it up, cleaned it with windex, alloowed it to dry completely then painted it. They came out real good and have lasted for a while. Clear coat prevents chipping as well

This is what happened when my idiot self didn't prime the paint....
 So definitely prime it, sand it, prime it again, and let it dry.

No need to prime it, Pete, you sprayed it on too thick and probably didnt use an ammonia based cleaner to clean it before painting. You need to do light coats, that is why yours ran and shows orange peel

Use the DuPont Adhersion promoter then paint.
Never used primer on anything plastic. Primer should work with the Adhersion Promoter too.
