Default Ok so i have a butt load of paint here...

And an afternoon with perfect conditions to paint.

Project? Front grill and bumper. Probably only do one at a time BUT!

The bumper is just metal right? Or chrome painted? and the grill is plastic chrome plated? Can I just sand/scuff up both primer and paint? I just don't want an ugly result.



ANTI-DIPPER so that is not a solution here haha.
