I did this with my old car and used a grey undercoat primer to take away any scuff makrs and inperfections, then with a very light sanding another coat. after that i put a couple of coats of colour on, ( both Plasti-kote ) and to finish i used a clear laquer just for protection and a bit of shine. 
hope this helps.

unsure if this plastidip is going right. Followed the directions, but just applied my first coat and looks extremely orange peely and sprays quite blotchy.
Update: looks better once its dried, all that can see some blotchy bits here and there, its hard to spray on evenly when it comes out like it does

blotchiness/uneven cover. Also after each coat hold the
can upside down and spray to clear the nozzle as a build
up of plasti dip will also cause blotchy spray.
Also, make sure you do about 5-6 coats as it makes it more
durable and easier to remove in the future.
I dipped my wing mirrors in the summer and it looks
perfect 6 months on.

30 minutes between each as recommended. Also, are you
spraying indoors in a warm room(with ventilation) as this also helps.
