right first sand them down with 360 normal sand paper then 2-3 coats of grey primer
then wet flat them with 1200 wet and dry then paint :thumbs:
as for smoothing your bumper it will be best if you get some fiber-glass bodge then go over that with easy sand bodge,
then prime. you can get all this from halfords or any car parts shop
good luck mate :thumbs:

man walks into the doctors and says "doctor i have a 2ft hole in my bum)
doctor replies puzzled "hoe the hell have you done that son?"
the man shamefully replies "i got raped off an elephant"
the doctor says "but an elephants penis is long and thin"
the man dropped a tear and said "IT FINGERED ME FIRS"
