Using 3M tape without the primer....

I was just about to install some SS Hummer letters on the bumper of my '07 and realized
G-Style didn't send me a tube of the primer that usually accompanies crap that is to
be stuck on with 3M tape. Is this a must have for proper adhesion?

Can I just get by swabbing the area with 90% isopropyl alcohol, letting it evaporate then attaching the letter?

I sure as hell don;t want the damn things flying off driving down the highway....

Swab, do not drink, the etoh![;)]   You may use solvent or etoh to clean and prep the surface for adhesive emblem type tape.

alcohol will be fine,it cleans surfaces really good

I figured I'd be ok with the Iso, but I remembered how sticky that primer made everything on that last set
and was afraid it was like a two part system or something........

You'll be ok, I got some letters from another company that forgot to send me the prep. kit.  Had the letters on now for about 5 months and even with pressure washing they're not going anywhere.
