sand sand sand. very fine paper, like 400 or so. just keep sanding. when you get down there will probably be cracks... just keep on sanding. fresh paint shows alot

Wet sand lightly with 400-600 grit, enough to roughen the surface, clean, adhesion promoter (such as bulldog), paint. You can also scuff with a grey scotchbrite pad instead of sanding.
Flex additive is worthless... if you'll be painting it on the car (or off really).
