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:
