Use finer grades the further along the spraying process you are, you may need filler primer depending on how deep the scratch is, in witch case, use after you've flatter the plastic primer down, then flat that down before colour.

One more thing, mask off the area not to be sprayed, try and tie this into lines of the car if possible, note the colour will be more vivid as it's not exactly matched to your car, the whole bumper will need flagging and polishing to help it blend in

This is based on my limited knowledge of spraying so don't take it as gospil
OK thanks for that. What other grits of paper should I use?
" laquar " I thought the Halford paint would be a gloss do I need the laquere? Again polish, do I need it? I just want to tidy the car up, not put it in a show sort of thing.
Thanks mate,
Peter.
