What I've done to paint my front bumper was sand, prime, sand, spray, and clearcoat. Since your doing this on your bumper, you should also make sure your primer and paint have flex additive in it.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Flex agent does absolutely nothing for you. It only keeps the paint flexible until it is fully cured. This is to give you time to install the part, which may get twisted and such during assembly. After the paint has cured in a few weeks, it's exactly the same as any other paint.

Ive seen sarins paint job on his front bumper. SWEET. It looks like if it came with the car. My dad painted my chicks green cavalier, wll just a crash it had. He went the way sarin went, sand, primer, paint, clear coat. Looks nicely done.

Good tip Wylie. I'm glad we got a pro painter around! BTW, I may need your expertise come soon about certain parts of my car that needs paint. Maybe if things work out, you'd be interested in doing a little work?
