Default bumpers

My 1989 mustang has a few scrapes and scratches on the bumpers. What paint could i use to fix this. Could i use spray paint? Can you sand the paint off like you can on other parts of the body.

Yes you can use spray paint..And yes you can sand it as well..Thats how i did my two tone, take a look.. Your supposed to use a flex agent when you paint it, that way it doesnt crack or chip the paint... Due to the fact that bumpers tend to be flexable.. But the spray paint will work just fine..

Iwouldn't recommened spray paint it will look cheap, if you did all the sanding and prep and shouldn't cost more than $150 to piant and clear with materials included
