Clean, dry, panel wipe. Sand with wet or dry to about 400 grit, panel wipe, spray with plastic primer (anything else will just crack), (assuming metalic) 2 or 3 base coats, clear coat.

It's much harder to do well than you think -- you're at the absolute limit of aerosols and the sheer size of the bumpers makes getting a good finish difficult. Your car paint factor (yellow pages) will advise on exact products.

You should inform your insurers, but they'd be unlikely to increase your bill.

try to do the hole bumper with each can to keep away from patching nice even coats if it dosent look fully covered don't go mad get it on the next pass take your time ! preparation will make or brake a paint job!

oh and make a thread about your car and try to keep questions within your thread makes the forum look more tidy
