My rear bumper is scratched up, has some yellow road paint...old paint is peeling off on one side.

What steps are taken to prepare and paint these plastic bumpers? And what tools would be necessary.

Thanks,

well first off remove the bumper
second;you need a D.A. if the paint is just pealing off i would use 180 then 240
third: use a red scuff pad to get any spots you missed
fourth; use a wax and grease remover to clean the plastic beofre you apply primer
fifth; you a flexable primer ppg makes it ia m sure most other product lines do as well, apply 2 coats
let it dry over night
use your d.a. sand it down with 320 just lightly then wet sand with 400 then 600 then use a grey scuff pad to get any shinny spots
clean again with wax and grease remover
apply a flexed sealer then base then a flexed clear
or send me the bumper and i will do it for ya
