[QUOTE="wnyman10, post: 1552309, member: 20721"] So I wanna take the plunge and try to paint. My 94 bumpers are awful so I started to sand them down. I started with the back and got it pretty good but there were allot of micro cracks and chips so unfortunately to get those out I burned through a few times. Then I started on the front where there was this weird area where the primer was showing so i sanded that and within seconds I ran into a ton of what almost looked like jb weld. It wasn't body filler it was some kind of glue holding a crack together. So i said screw it and ordered a new bumper cover. So I have never painted before in my entire life, I have painted tons with rattle cans but I want to do this with a gun. I have a garage and a big air compressor and a nice LVLP gun. My question is what do I need or at least a baseline. I don't want to go to the autobody supply store and make a fool of myself. I figured I need urethane primer, my basecoat and clear, As well as the reducer etc. Am I on the right path, Also does anyone know how much product ill need to do the back and front bumper covers?
