   Why didnt it go well mate, I want to do this, Would like to get a head up on where you fucked up ?
   and why dont you just re sand down, and try again
   
   P.s you did wash the bumper strips free from dirt and wax and make sure they were dry and stuff, then prime them etc fisrt didnt you? ( Not assuming your a fool ) Just asking.

   yea i did prime it all first, it just went wrong with the masking tape around it, wen i peeled it off there was loads of parts the went onto the paintwork and bits tht didnt get covered on the bumper even tho i spent ages gettin the tape good
   
   but im gunna attempt to do the parts it missed again and sand down the parts tht went on the paintwork

   i just masked mine off and sprayed gloss black paint on haha, no peeling, flaking orange peel affect, guess im just lucky, hadent peeled in the 6months that i had them done until i sold the car...and i belive they are still ok, try holding the can further away, apply less paint but more coats
