Hello just got an aftermarket bumper cover for 2010 camary Le. Manufacturer says primered. So skip the primer and start with a few light coats of adhesion promoter? I know nothing about paint. Thank you Roy

This comment is way too under-rated! I've learned the hard way but this is an absolutely priceless piece of advice. That and starting and ending the spray stroke before and then off the part you're painting, never starting directly on the piece you're painting. Ie start spraying a couple inches to the left of the bumper and finish your spray am inch or so off to keep the spray nice and uniform.

@@royjones9852 Get a grey scotch Brite pad and scuff it up then use an 800 then 1500 sandpaper and wet sand that primer down to smooth it all out. Then use adhesion promoter followed by paint and clear coat and make sure to wait the recommended times between coats. I'd wait 24 hours before clear coating also but that's just me.
You can use cheap white primer before applying the relatively expensive base coat over a dark primer to cut down the the required coats needed to cover over grey primer.

Nice job. So u bypassed scuffing and sanding because it came pre primed? I’m painting a bumper that’s pre primed. So would just cleaning it , then laying adhesion promoter, base and clear be correct?
Very informative thanks, how many cans of primer, paint and gloss needed for a full plastic bumper
It's somewhat recommended to paint indoors, only to mitigate dirt and debris from blowing and falling onto the paint. For other comments, from experience, base coats usually stop being tacky after 20-30 minutes, and clear coats usually harden after 45 minutes to an our unless with a breeze or wind, which will probably bring it down to 30 minutes.. I think a rule of 3s is good to start with. 3 coats of paint, 3 coats of clear coat. You need to wait for your paint to dry before sanding as it may still be mushy, and any grit will imbed easier into soft paint. I think having your piece elevated to around chest-height, or having the top of it at just under your chin makes it easier to paint, find a way to hang the piece with metal coat hangers from spots that won't be seen.

@@jdmchickkustomz9417 you'll have to sand it down over a large area after it hardens and respray. Very frustrating. You might have luck with lacquer thinner in a spray gun. You'll need to be quick because it will make the paint coat mushy. The only direct route is sanding that spot down and using Bondo and respraying with primer, paint coat, clear coat and fine-grit rubbing compound to smooth out the layering.

Does this last like if it were originally painted like car wash and winter like that?
All clear finishes will have some type of orange peel. I can see it on his finish. But i believe you're supposed to install the bumper and wait a week or so. Then you can wet sand with 2000 or 3000 grit and then buff it with buffing compound.

2 layers of adhesion promoter is fine. Wait an hour before using your base coat and then 10 minutes between 3-5 coats of base. I'd wait 24 hours before clear coating if possible and start with a lighter coat with 10 minute intervals going a little heavier each time. Then wait a hood 24 hours after that before wet sanding with say 1500,2000,2500 grit then buffing and finally polishing if you really wanna do it right.

Shouldnt you scuff the bumper down first thing. And then wipe it down with a tack cloth and acetone? The mold process has a release agent. Really bad for paint jobs. Then definitely a primer. Will help the paint adhere better and lay your coats out much better. Hope helps

You didn't mention any safety gear. $20 for respirator (Highly Recommended to wear one) Goggles and Tyvek Suit $20 for both (For a small job like this these are optional, but it is better to be safe!) Also no mention about a wax and grease remover (Prep Solvent) wipe down before anything. If you're not using a sealer then forget about using it because some have very long flash times. I've made some videos to clarify these subjects.
