I went to the paintscratch website and learned that you not only need the RUBBERIZED primer, but stuff they call SEM Adhesion Promoter. In all that's 4 spray cans totaling around $78 shipped. Hopefully, by following all the steps, it can withstand some gentle abuse!!!
Their website also has very complete directions on the use of these 4 products.

I will hold off for a while. Getting ready to mothball the car for winter. By the way, since mine is Lapis Blue, the improvement will not be as great as with you guys that have light/medium color cars.

Go for it, just get a can of primer, and some paint for plastic to match the color of your car, and clear coat. I sanded mine done to smooth, then about 6 coats of primer, and multiple coats of paint, I did about 4. Then multiple coats of the clear. took my time, 2 days, and the color is black. So, for about 25 bucks and the sastifaction of doing it yourself, "priceless".
