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 |

Don't use standard rattle can paint. It will chip and flake easily and, it will not wash well. Get any grime on it and the finish will change as you rub it off etc.
If you need to rattle can, call your local automotive paint supplier and ask if they have 2K cans with hardener. This will get you a proper hardened automotive paint in the spray can convenience. |

I did my Westfalia's wheels with it. |
