well since your such an expert with all the experience you now have, why come on here and ask the question??...use your expertise....fyi , I've painted more that just a few body part and motor cycles and we'll leave it at that.......like I said and I'll say it one more time so listen up, remove the peeling paint by lightly sanding and scuff with scotch brite pads, DO NOT use paint remover it will melt the bumper covering to a gooy mess, then onc surface is prepped I use professional primer with adhesion promoter specially for plastic bumper covers, if the covering is off the car often times a flex agent is recommended so lifting and shatter won't occur......I've done more than a few of these lets say and will soon do my 92 rear cover to replace a damaged on on there now I only use proffesional spray guns for the quality they deliver, however if your cheap and like such results use a rattle can primer ftl.
