Best way to prep, paint & mount Stillen lip...

For any of you that are experienced with this, I'm trying to figure out the best way to prep, mount & paint the Stillen lip.

With prepping, is the lip supposed to bake in the sun, be sanded, primered? Anything else?

Painting: What is a good amount of coats of paint and clear?

How about mounting, clean the area well, use the adhesion promoter on the bumper and is there any drilling/screwing required?

Also, I thought I read somewhere before that once the lip is installed an OEM screw gets blocked making it hard to get the front bumper off, is this true and any way around it?

This is for prepping the bumper and installing with the adhesion promoter. As far as prep/paint, I can't help sorry. I'd recommend just having a reputable automotive painter handling it.

Again, watch the video. It is very basic. I'd recommend watching it a few times to get everything down, then go about installing. For some reason your still confused, have a body shop do it for you.
