Default PAINTING QUESTION AND FRAME SLIDERS

2 questions sorry...

I'm repainting my bike, because the original owner of my 95 f3 had a little spill on one side. and was wondering. I bought aftermarket ABS black plastic fairings with a few knicks and dings, but was thinking if I was supposed to wetsand it down before I primer it, or does it not need to be wet sanded and can go straight to primer? HELP!

AND ABOUT FRAME SLIDERS.

How do you drill holes for the frame sliders? can i just use a regular drill bit? and also, are swingarm sliders really nesscessary? and how effective are frame sliders against a spill at say 15-20 mph or is it only good for tip overs?THANKS!

Delrin is the best thing to use.

It's always a good idea to sand before priming, it helps the primer stick better.

i dont think you would want to wetsand before primer. it needs something a bit more aggressive so that way it can seat itself. im thinking 180 or 220 grit...
