hey, if you want to know how to prep plastic. you need to scuff the chrome very lightly so it has no smooth surface. you want it to feel a little ruff for the paint to stick. its gonna feel smooth when you start sandin on it, but you'll see how the feeling changes from the soft chrome to the light scuff. dont scratch it, scuff it lightly with some 100 grit paper very lightly. then mist a first coat on evenly, it doesnt have to completely coat the surface. just enough to start turnin color. let it dry about 20 mins or so. then mist on another light coat. i'd say 2 or 3 of those light **** coats, then scuff it again very lightly to prep for 2 final coats. the same coats as before just dont go sprayin or it will run on you. then you get to sand it all of and start over again cause runs really suck. anyways, good luck.

bambi mod:
Disconnect the battery.
In the kick panel on the passenger side, locate the center top relay, i think its 202 but i am prob. wrong. its the one with that jumper wire coming out
Get a female blade connector, crimp it to a piece of 18g wire and bend back the male blade at the top right if you looking at it above...
Take some of the plastic out of the fuse box around the relay to make room for the female clip.
Ground out the wire on the body.
Reconnect battery and enjoy.
