Need tips on preping paint

I have chips all over my bumper and hood and i finally got a paint pen and normal paint bottle from nissan. i also got langka including the prepaint and sealant stuff. after i wash the car next weekend i planned on clay barring the entire bumper and hood to remove the contaminents and go from there...does anyone have any prepaint and post paint suggestions??

You're just painting a few little chips on the bumper, right? If so, you don't really need to do ANY prep work other than washing it and *making sure it is dry* because the parts that you are painting will not be affected by claying or prepping the paint. Of course, it is always good to detail your car and everything, so when you plan on doing that there are plenty of things you could do to help the paint. But if it is just touching up some chips, I'd just put on the paint and use the Langka and let it do its thing.
