what'd you guys do before painting? I attempted to paint mine yesterday and the paint did not take and its peeling up...it looks like crap. Did you use a primer?

we rinsed it and wiped it off then we just sprayed right over it

p.s. we got spray paint that was made to spray on plastic. so maybe that has something to do with it.
