It is adviseable to pre heat the parts to cause the bubbles to expand before you prime the parts, this way you can fine fill all the blisters before they are painted so they don't break through your finished paint.
Also beware 2 pack hang overs if thats what you have in mind for home use they're a killer!
Only true if the laminating isn't that clever in the first place...
