Before I start, I attached some pictures to show the problem. After purchasing my 2004 pathfinder used, I began to notice paint chipping off on front bumper. It is now covering about 1/6 of the bumper, showing old paint where the new paint chipped off. Apparently, the dealership has a guy that comes in and just resprays over existing paint to cover defects, no prep or anything. So now it is my problem. Instead of paying for a repaint on the whole bumper, I wanted to give it a go myself. I currently have a spray adhesion promoter, plastic primer, Basecoat, and clearcoat. The damage is mainly on a 2ft across by 5 inch section of the plastic bumper. I am wondering your opinions on whether or not I should try to repaint these chipped areas, how to blend the paint, and any other ideas for or against this process. I do not have wetsand paper, so if you think I should sand the area with a certain grit as well, please let me know. I am a little confused on blending and if I should just tape off the one section and work on that. Any tips would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
