Paint

Only rattle cans today I'm afraid.

First a plastic primer after wiping down the bumper with Eastwoods pre-paint and masking the bit I don't want painted (will be covered by a black bumper strip)



The colour code of this bumper is 7700 Alto gray

Here it is going on



There's a bit of a colour mismatch





Not too too bad colour wise.

Up close I can see I need to add on a layer of spray primer and finish off the sanding with a finer grade paper

Has anyone got any other tips?

Should I have added the special plastic primer before the filler?
