   do the bumpstrips come off on all the bumpers or not?

   Just sand down before hand to key it and remove any dirt, primer, paint, then lacquer Halfords paint is fine too. If you want to reduce as much dust getting inbetween layers give it a mild sand down of 1200 grit between each layer of primer and paint
   
   With the bumpstrips it should be fine, mine have been sprayed. Just need to make sure you use the same method as above and take your time inbetween layers and taking off masking tape etc to let it fully dry

   the bump strips are just part of the kit they cant be removed, and if they are painted professionally they wont flake, it'll be as good as all the other paint on your car

   Pillars you woul dprobably need to use filler primer because of the texture to make sure the base layer will stick, also probably satin black.

   no you don't, just sand/prep them properly, i work in a bodyshop and we have to prep everything properly, i'd get sacked if i just used filler primer

    less of the language child
    
    filler primer is a bodgers way of getting rid of texture, sand them down properly to remove the texture, just using filler primer will still leave some texture
