Best way to remove paint from bumper, HELP!

[Whitethunder46]

I need to sand down my front bumper so I can have it re-painted this Monday. It was involed in a slight fender bender, and I'm sanding and prepping so I can save some money.

It's a Saleen Urethane Bumper. What's the best way? Course sand paper? Wire wheel sander? Chemical? Any thoughts?

Why don't you just ask the shop or person who is going to shoot the bumper what condition they expect it to be in and what they recommend as the method to prep. If you don't have it the way they expect and they have to redo some of the prep you might not save too many $$$ if any at all.

Then there is the issue of who will bear the blame if there is paint failure down the road? They could place the blame on poor/improper prep work. Sometimes it isn't worth the trouble to save a few $$$...... just something to think about.
