   sand down with wet and dry 1600 grit and sand down till smooth and then use plastic primer 4+ coats and then spray gloss black 4+ again and then use clear laquer .

   i think its as little as 20-30mins between primer coats and 12 hours between paint?.. probably wrong though lol.

   be carefull not to rub the wet nd dry on the paintwork when you do it though best to cover it all up before you start.

   anyone used the plastic bumper paint from hellfrauds? pretty good stuff if you want more of a matt factory style finish tbh

   Just out of interest, has anyone got any pictures of their bumpers sprayed glossy black because I was thinking of doing it to mine?

    Don't need lacquer on gloss. It's already shiney.
