diy bumper painting

well since nobody seems to want my carcept front bumper was thinking i could just repair the cracked bit and paint it red and stick it on my new car. how hard is it to paint and look half decent?

Lots of prep, and steady with the paint, then lots of patience in flatting n polishing.

i recently did my first bit of proper spraying it really is about 90% prep work. plently of sanding flush the correct primer and teh correct paint keyed up the laqour is the bit that makes the difference at the end and this can be difficult, i rished it at first and the laqoured bloomed had to cut it back and restart, that was because there was a little too much moisture in the air, however the final product was great.

If its a solid red use a 2k paint, its much easier and more forgiving than a basecoat and then clearcoat, can be wet flatted with 2000 grit when hard then machine polished for a mirror finish.
