Default Question on Painted Lowers

OK, I've seen you guys that have done it, but I want to know if I need special paint because I'm painting plastic not metal. If I use Duplicolor or PaintScratch to match my year, make, model, will the paint they send be the right stuff? Do I need to sand?

What uP?

And yes, I'm a B*tc* cuz I didn't use search. [sm=chairshot.gif]

Found a guy that'll do it for $150. He works for M.A.R.S.

Anyone heard of M.A.R.S. before?

They are a Mobile Auto Reconditioning Service. They do great work.
