   Been trying to paint my chevrons black, but can't seem to rough it up enough. I've tried sandpaper but it's staying smooth. Any ideas guys??

   you want it to be smooth once you've sanded it, if its rough it will look terrible under/through the paint

   thats the idea of sanding, to get it smooth and it will put tiny minute scratches/marks into the plastic that they primer/paint will stick into to
