   Anyone know much about spraying? I've got a compressor and a spray gun, very good piece of kit i've only ever sprayed wheels before, what primer do you use for body panels? How many times do you put a base coat/ clear on? Any info and tips appreciated as i might have a go doing my front and back bumper

   u dont reali need to prime the whole bumper, just sand sand damged areas with 240, skim it up sand it with 320, prime around, sand all bumper with p800, paint just bits over where u have primed clear coat whole bumer 3/4 coats of each.
   
   it needs to be at least 20c for spraying ideali baked off at 60c for 30mins... put water on floor stops dust coming up, what spray gun do you have and wt compressor? do you have inline water collector? inline pressure reg?
