   Was driving home yesterday and some Nimwit was on my side of the road not looking where he was going and forced me into a wall!!!
   Not much damage though thankfully just a large scrape on the bottom bumper / valance next to my fog lamp - its only gone down to the primer though - is it best to spray the whole bumper or should i just sand it down abit and do that bit?!?!
   
   Advise Please .........

   horn + middle finger + loud mouth = alert driver
   
   seriously, i'd have been on that horn faster than you can say, and if you fancied risking it i'd have hit the other car. would be their fault tbh, no?

   for a big part like that you can get a decent finish with a spray can if your good with them but tbh id get it professionally sprayed, they will use a compressor and with the gun you get a wider spray pattern, they will also do it in a booth so no dust will settle on surface, should only cost about 50 - 100
