I'm interested in painting some of the exterior sections of my X, along with some of my off-road gear. A salesperson at Home Depot suggested using just about any Rust-Oleum spray paint. I picked out some stuff called Rust-Oleum Textured (Fine Textured Finish/Distinctive Durable Coating). I already rolled under the X, touching up undercarriage trail damage. I would like to possibly paint the wheels, maybe the quarter panels, maybe the roof rack/gear basket, and possibly even the side trim.
Questions:
1) How important is it to sand and prime? Like, could I get away with just masking-off and spraying the wheels?
2) Will this spray paint work out on plastic?
3) What kind of longevity can be expected from this type of paint?
4) I'd like a matte finish. Do I have to use a clear-coat? If so, wouldn't that make it a glossy finish?
Thank you.
