Front chrome grill (plastic with chrome paint) Since it's plastic/painted all you need to do is clean it with some wax/grease remover spray, wipe it off with a dry towel to remove any debris, then spray on a coat of adhesion promoter for plastics. I'm using the one U-POL recommended.. U-Pol 799 GRIP #4 U-POL Universal Adhesion Promoter. Then spray the raptor liner

For metal items such as the side steps:
I bought an electric sander ($100) and used 120grit paper to sand down the side steps until smooth, clean them with the wax/grease remover spray, wipe off any debri, then spray on a paint primer designed for bare metal UPOL recommends U-POL ACID#8 - ETCH PRIMER M.I.R. COMPLIANT, then spray the raptor liner.
