Well, I began priming and.......You will notice in the picture some "white spots" where the primer would just not stick. So I did a search on TRF (isn't this place great?) and found the following post from Carl Tulanko:
"Plastic nosecones, especially those from LOC, usually still have release agents on them from the mold at the factory and need special preparation. Wash the nosecone with white vinegar and a scrubby, which disolves these agents, rinse the nosecone and sand it with 150-220 grit paper, then scrub it with hot soapy water and rinse with hot water. This should remove all traces of mold agents and allow the primer to adhere to these tough nosecones.
I'm going to sand the primer off and start over again following the suggestions from Carl and see if that doesn't work a little better.
