nope none what so ever.. went on very easy.. i think im ganna pick up ssome caliper paint and primmer next week..
Everyone has their ways, but based on another thread here, I went:
400 grit sandpaper
Wash and dry
Taped off all areas not to be painted
Self Etching Primer(2 coats)
Regular Primer(2 coats)
VHT High Heat Paint(3 coats)
VHT Clear(3 coats)
Results have been very good and no chipping.

Self etching primer is used on bare metals, it is made to bond to raw materials better than like a sandable or high build primer
