Default What supplies are needed to Prep a rear bumper?

Well im planning on preping a rear bumper for my brothers DC and have never attempted my own prep work. What supplies are needed to do all the prep work so i can take it to a paint shop and get it painted and put on?

Thanks for the help and i tried to search but got nothing.

degrease, use wax and grease remove,

sand, with 400 grit, ofr which ever grit u like.
or use a scotchbrite to scuff it up.

mask off parts you dont want painted, and take it over to the paint shop. keep it simple.

i would wetsand with 400 or use a GRAY scotchbrite...not the red one.

but other than that its that easy

just make sure you clean the MRA's off. (mold release agents, its what they put in the mold to make it came out easy, that stuff is bad, so clean it reallly really well like fake mugen power said
