Mask it WELL. Rough up with sandpaper. Get some rubberized bedliner and spray it onto a ice cream lid or a piece of plastic and then dab it on slowly with a foam brush overlapping as you go. It works awesome and it's very tough. I had to re-do mine after 2 years but it wasn't chipping any more than the rest of the paint.
