as long as you sand it down and use plastic primer it is easily possible ...he probably couldn't be bothered

Hes talking b****cks all body shops will either have a universal plastic primer that will key to all plastics or they will have several different plastic primers for different plastics eg PU,PVC,ABS,PUR etc
Textured plastics dont need sanding down to remove texture they just need scotching with a red or grey scotch depending on how soft the plastic is
Most plastic primers are applied using just 1 medium coat then after 10 mins the primer will have key'd the plastic and you can then use a 2k high build primer,this will cover any texture that the bumpers will have.
You can also use a cleaner that you apply to the scotch to remove any mould release that the factory use (to stop the bumpers sticking to the moulds) before plastic priming.

dont let it put you off. its just wear and tear. BUT a major factor is in the prep process, if you get a prepper who cant be arsed and just gives them a quick sanding and whacks a ton of primer on, they will flake, and they will flake in no time at all.
if you go somewhere that take pride in their work, and they really do, then it will be done properly and it*shouldnt* flake for years and years.
