hey, hi
I'm no body guy but I don't think you need to sand it down to the plastic. I would wetsand the entire bumper with 400, then if you want to fill in something do it then. I also wouldn't rattle can prime it unless you want to sand the whole thing again after.
But that's just my amateur opinion.

u settin urself up for failure...never, never, never sand a bumped all the way down to pair plastic, unless You are gonna use a good 2k primer....no cheap rattle can ****, also never put filler in a bumper.....a bumper is supposed to be flexible, it wont be flexible if its covered in body filler..... honestly though just heat up the area with a heat gun.....no hair dryers. and work the dent out with the handle end of a screw driver cause its gonna be really hot...then get 1 sheet of 180 wet dry and sand out the imperfections, dont sand there to long, then switch to 320 wet dry paper and wet sand it, then to 400 w/d paper......prime it 3 good times and let it fully dry in between coats,cause if u dont the solvents in the primer will shrink and it will look like dodo.
spend a lil time on this website and it will save u a lot of headaches and time, and ur so called dough....also to remove the back bumper u will need a 10mm on a 1/4 ratchet...theres like 6 or 8 bolts in there holdin it, and u have to take ur tail lights out also to remove a plastic clip...then theres a 10mm in the fender well on both sides, and a handfull of plastic clips on the bottom
