No I didn't rough it up first. The top of the I2 fenders actually alredy have a slight texture to them. I would have gotten a glossier finish if I would have sanded with progressively finer grit sandpaper until it was smooth, and then painted.

I simply cleaned with an all-purpose cleaner (windex would do I guess), rinsed, then wiped with alcohol. Then masked off where I didn't want painted, then wiped with alcohol again to get any finger prints off.
