Default Front ground effect paint, bulldog use.

Hello everyone. I'm painting my front ground effect piece that I ordered from RK sport. I bought a can of Bulldog. Do I use bulldog then primer than paint. Or do I just use bulldog and spray paint ?

Are the ground effects fiberglass or plastic? If fiberglass, prime, sand and paint. If plastic and the plastic is already primed just sand and paint. If the plastic is raw use bulldog then seal-prime then paint. If you don't know if the plastic is primed use some fine sand paper on a edge, if it powders its primed.

Thanks. I've never heard of sealing before. Can I purchase this in a spray rattle can ?

Thanks. I've never heard of sealing before. Can I purchase this in a spray rattle can ? I just checked the website. Made of poly urethane.

Are the pieces "raw" polyurethane or primed, I would guess raw. They don't really make sealer in a spray can. I guess if you're trying to do this all in spray cans I would look for some flexible primer in a spray can, SEM is one brand U-Pol is another. Then I would bulldog it then prime and then paint. As long as you realize that spray cans will be the most entry level method.
