did you prep it by sanding it or anything? or did you just clean it up and then paint it?

I cleaned it up so there was no dust or anything on it... then scuffed it up with some 1500 grit sandpaper... cleaned it off again then went to work with the paint. a couple layers of black then 2 layers of clear
