ya wasnt all that hard prep work sanding on the bumper maken it as perfect as you can b4 you goto paint is the best thing even if you get "junk " paint to spray over the bumper areas ur workn on to see how it comes out b4 you use the good stuff would be a good idea to find high and low spots as you sand and to possably find flaws that would show up with the good paint.
