I see this is really old but I'll post my experience just in case someone else comes looking with the same question
I tried scuffing up a base but it didn't work for me. I tried using acetone on it, and that sort of worked except it was hard to get that just right - the acetone wants to dry really fast so the surface gets sticky right away.
My best result was when I dissolved some filament in acetone, then pained that on (with a rag). When it dried the surface looked really shiny - but the prints stuck perfectly.
So acetone / ABS slurry is my suggestion. Good luck.
