Question About Vinyl Wrapping

Ok, before I go and spend money on product does anyone know if you can wrap wheel arch's as they are, or would they need to be smoothed first?

I would of course prime them properly first either way, but didn't know if the factory texture would cause lifting?

The vinyl will not stick to the factory plastics because of the texture.

If you were going to go to all of the trouble to smooth them and primer, then you would be better off painting them.

You could try using some primer94, but I doubt it would last long without lifting.
