My 74 bumper rusted around the tits
I found out when I bumped it with my knee and it fell off and hit my foot So I bought an earlier titless bumper that is orange I'll be painting it satin black with a spray can What grit should I sand it with so the new paint gets some bite? Should I prime it? If so, what type of primer? Should I sand the primer? If so, what grit? Thanks Scott |

make sure that you spray with worth black satin trim paint after thoroughly sanding with wet or dry sand paper with plenty of water about 400 grit if the bumper is smooth
