Sand, Prime, Base and Clear. Shouldn't crack then! In fairness I am actually an atrocious painter so I understand your worry, much to my dad's dismay as painting is his trade.

OP OP jcoopz10 Apr 8, 2012 #7 thanks and do you need plastic primer? i thought i might need to sand as standard black bumpers are bumpy plastic.
