Is that Plastikote in sprays or jars ?

i think they do both but you will get a far better finish with spray than with a brush dude

u need to roughen it with 1200 grit sand paper or it just wont stick mate believe me it will come out shiny as hell if you do it properly if you just clean it you will get it starting to peel and that is A BAD LOOK
