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

If you really want to rattle can it, assuming cheaply, then Rustoleum can be had locally and you can get more easily.

Down side is you can't spray real car paint over spray paint so it will all have to come off before the 'good' paint job.
