the bead blasting gave a much better surface for the primer to bite into I went the scufiing cleaning route and still had adhesion issues, this was the best I've found so far. House of kolor kandys were half the price of PPG 45dollars a quart for the top coat and 34-38 a quart for the base coat. PPg was around 75 a quart and I don't think it covers as well. JMO.
