Spent quite a bit of time on the bumper with the sander today, getting all the little imperfections out ready for primer ,also got the filler applied .
Starting to get it prepped.
Few random shots
Stonechips etc all feathered out.
Bumper now degreased ready for filler (applied some last week so remainder to do )
First skim.
Few spot repairs.
Quick pic of the filler applied last week (still to rub down)
Next stage is to get the filler all rubbed down and a coat of plasticiser on the bare plastic, and then its ready for high build primer.

Managed to get the bumper into primer today ,lots of piccys of what we did .
Bumper degreased .
Plasticiser going on .
While that was drying i mixed up the primer.
Starting to get the first coat on.
Not trying to cover it all on the first coat ,just a light one to begin with .
Here goes the second coat .
Giving it ample time in between coats to flash off ,it was given about 4 heavy coats in the end .
Last coat applied .
Let this flash off while i cleaned up the gun etc and then added a guide coat .
Will let it harden off for a while ,then wet flat and ready for colour .
