Default bumper painting advice please

Happy New Year All
After some advice, got a MK4 Bonus front bumper & RS Front valance i am putting together to fit on my RST.
I am doing the prep and maybe painting, after advice on what the best type of plastic primer is to use and black non-metallic top coat-std top coat paint or plastic paint?

Hope this helps. Havin been a painter for Nissan an still painting now in my opinion after keying the plastic panel/s any plastic primer would be ok to use.
It's abit like a etch primer so the paint keys properly.
With regards to the top coat unless there is a brand you perticularly like to use I've actually used one of my paint mixing places I use an had there own paint an had good results with it rather than spending loads of cash. It's all down to prep conditions an how it's applied in my opinion. Sorry to go on but hope this helps.
