I know its hard to believe that the paint guru needs to ask this, but I do! Im gonna paint the TJ flares matt black before they go on the CJ, do u reckon I have to bother with a primer (like below), or slap it straight on after a bit of scratching up?

either by design or accident it looks like BD has found the right stuff, it is an adhesion promoter as well as a primer
