And find some Dupont super performance pack (2 part hardener) or equivalent.
Repainting that the second time is a bitch, real bitch. If you could get it electrostatic... probably not...

the middle part of bumper is chromed, I purchased a ready to paint black one.
The top and bottom parts of the bumper are textured plastic, I scuffed around on those and took the little scratches out and painted them.
The front grille is also plastic/chrome, and my ready to paint replacement will be here tomorrow.
It doesn't have to be spectacular, its a bumper, i'm painting black plastic with Bullydog adhesive promoter, SEM flex primer, and then Duplicolor black and clear from a can.
Only about 75% of the metal bumper can be seen once the plastic is on, and that's the part i concentrated hardest on lol. The textured bumpers hide any imperfections from the paint, and both the metal bumper and the grille are going to be cleared, sanded, then cleared again before a final wet sanding/polish.
