painting pointers needed please
I got ahold of a bumper for my i30. But its pretty scratched up and some of the paints gone. So I was wanting to repaint it. So im thinking the best way would be I get some sand paper and roughing the surface a bit. Then use some primer, then paint it. If that's the appropriate way then the color primer should I use? Gray? Black? Tan?
Oh the car is beige color or as Infiniti calls it : sunlit sand metallic

Find a local automotive paint and body store. Purchase 220 and 400 grit wetsand paper, grey scotchbrite pads. (green is too corse) medium build primer. Color does not matter. Grey is most common. Purchase your paint and clear. Be sure to get a two stage finish. stage one is paint stage two is Clear. All modern paint is flexiable enough for every part on the car
Sand the damaged areas with the 400. if it wont come out steup up to the 220. Finish all sanded areas off with 400. All sanding should be done with soapy water.
Use the scotch brite pad to scuff the entire bumper. You want it dull with no shine. This will give the paint something to bite into.
Prime only the areas you sanded. wetsand primer with 400.
Clean entire bumper with some kind of prepsall.
Tack bumper
Apply your favorite color in light dusting layers.
apply clear is semi heavy coats
let dry and enjoy
