halfords

-sandpaper P320 dry
-P800, P1000 or P1200 wetordry

-aerosol cellulose laquer 2 cans if youre just painting front n back bumper inserts

-aerosol cellulose primer x2

-masking tape


then goto your local paint supplier or autopaint.co.uk and get some paint mixed up for your car. you should be able to do both front n back bumpers with 1 aerosol, but get 2 if you aint confident and want some spare.

SO basically do i sand, primer filler, then sand then primer then paint then gloss?

 

[Final Maxim]

yea, sand it down, primer, wetflat that, add more primer if youve broke through, colour, then laquer

 

[chrislloyd]
