Repainted my bumper DIY job

Took my bumper off this weekend. DIY job. came out alright, way better than what it was before.

Found a huge dent in the lower reinforcement :thumbdown: Could have bought it like that.

Not too shabby, did you wet sand or anything or just do a couple coats after prep.

I used dupli-color exact match touch up spray mini-cans from candian tire. 3

Clear coat spray also from CT. 2 cans

I prepped the bumper with 220 getting down the shine, leveling out chips, scratches, roughness. thoroughly cleaned and primed it

wetsanded primer with a thousand grit thoroughly cleaned and gave it three coats of color

clearcoated it about five to six coats then wetsanded the roughness and dry texture with two thousand grit till semi dull and uniform smooth

buffed it out hard by hand and waxed it a professional bodyworker told me i must get it buffed by mahcine because it heats up the clear and brings up the shinr unlike doing it by hand
