NICE , like how the corners and wheels work together, a paint shop SHOULD have it, if not, they suck...

Damage doesn't look too bad, but maybe you can try http://www.paintscratch.com.

Go to any car part store like autozone for sand paper, then you can either go to your local paint store and ask them mix a can of your car code color or <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by slomob18b &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Damage doesn't look too bad, but maybe you can try http://www.paintscratch.com.</TD></TR></TABLE>

ok start off with some 80 grit and sand down the WHOLE AREA OR PEICE BEING SANDED.....use some putty/bondo to get any defects that might keep the peice from looking great after paint......then sand with 120 and putty one more time just to be safe......sand with 120 again then primer, then sand with 400/ base coat/ then sand with 1000 and then clear coat/ then sand with 1200 and clear coat again// then buff if needed.......if you get orange peel or any sort of clouding then start by sanding with 400 again and start with the basecoat......good luck!

o btw since its the front bumper.....you might have to do this to the fendors as well for a blending act......go from top to bottom light (top) to dark (bottom) like a shading effect so that you dont see 2 diff paint colors......new paint is diff than old paint....less mettals and sheat.....
