   That is correct,
   
   Some peoplelike to sand them own till they are smooth because they have a slight texture on them, I think this looks best. Wanna be sanding with a fine grain so you get a smooth finish
   
   Then couple of coats of primer, couple of coats of your colour, then a couple of coats of lacquer.
   
   Make sure you let them dry fully between stages and use a plastic primer to get best results

   WRONG !!! you don't have to sand them you can just use scotchbrite but make sure all dirt is removed go over with some panel wipe and a tak cloth.
   
   you'll need to use PLASTIC primer or etch primer for plastic then ordinary gery primer.
   
   if you use gloss black out of a spray can iirc you don't need laquor but at the end of the day out of a spray can is celleouse paint so will look best either buffed or laquored
   
   once you have sprayed the bumper in grey primer use the gloss black go over with a guide coat first ( a thin mist of the black) this will show up any imperfections if all is good continue to apply the paint evenly and thinly the last thing you want is to apply it too thick and end up with runs in the paint
