It's more the cost rather than anything

Well all u need to spray them is two tins of plastics primer, two tins of normal primer and three tins of paint and two tins of laquer so it wud cost about £45 to do both bumpers completely maybe less if u can get the stuff cheap enuff

[tomfinn94]

Why do you need plastic primer and normal primer

Plastics primer is for the base most just use this but its expensive and normal primer is cheap for the build up coats before the paint goes on

[andy w]

Plus plastics primer is flexible so it bends where as using just standard primer it will flake away after time

[tomfinn94]

To sort out where paints coming off and cracks I'm gonna need a fiber glass filer ? And what would I sand the primer down with ? I know I need red scotch for the plastic, 60-80 grit for filer and a wet and dry 240 to flat the paint

If I'm totally wrong let me know

I would sand it down with 240, sand the filler with 120 then 240 and finish it with 400

To flat the primer/paint between coats I'd use 800 wet

Do not touch the car with 60 or 80 grit as its far to corse and it'll just looked scratched

Johnnys right but don't use fibre glass on the bumper it wont hold mate unfortunately u need to use plastics filler its expensive but it does work u need to apply 4coats of it to work
