    Is there any type of primer in particular that should be used, I have 4 cans of white sandable primer in my basement right now. and how much paint is that? I have to do a front and rear bumper, how much do you think I would need?

    Well guys, sorry to burst your bubble but if your going to do it, do it right. I, myself would not just paint the bumper because you will be able to tell the difference in color shades. What I do and most shops do is paint the front bumper and both fenders. If you just do teh bumper, it will stick out. Just heads up.

    I figured the tone would be off by a little but still...

    It's hard to avoid dust since I'm only using my garage as a paint booth but by closing door I'm able to prevent dust at minimum.

    You have to use flexible primer surfacer. 3 cans is enough. I used 3 can for everything.

    I'm impressed with the good job, and the color matching to the silver. Its a difficult color to nicely color match even for body shops.
