   Was wanting to colour code the bumpers on my sax ... already done the splitter.
   
   Will I need a primer for it?

   Use plastic primer then if your using a light colour use a white primer, otherwise the colour wont be very deep and will look dull compared to the rest of the car.

   You can also get a hold of clear plastic primer then do a coat of normal primer, that will sort it!
