Plastic primer i guess wil do the job cem , just as long as i make a decent base for application

So after a lot of sanding the repaired corners and bits were sanded flat , then primed , after primer was applied imperfections in filler were spotted so more easy sand filler applied ..




After sanding again , more primer and partly finished bumper . Im going to get spray putty to build up thicker layers to cover the last of imperfections .




Quite pleased with how its coming along considering how it first looked 



More to come ...

Assumed they would be "puttyed" out

Most will , just the paint reacted and bubbled on some bits . A quick rub down sorted it

very good job EMD and its far beyond my expectations..

at that point I have some recommendations ;

firstly give it some more time to dry up both inside outside.. you will need minimum 7-10 days depending on the temperature and sun if you dont use other means of heating..  because in time the primer dries it will contract and show more scratches and imperfections..  so please wait

secondly thicker paint layers cant correct the problem, you need to use filler/bondo again (minimum 4-5 days+) and prime again (3-4+) days

please use plastic/elastic filler bondo pad so you wont need more time to sand

[cem_devecioglu]

also when applying laquer, spray 2-3 tiny layers (hand faster from longer distance)  wait 10-15 minutes, than 2 thicker layers (hand slower normal distance18-20 cm) and wait another 15-20 minutes than another layer or 2..

but be careful I cant predict micron size of the spray can  if its too big arrange accordingly number of layers .. these are for 0.8 micron hvlp
