you'll get about one coat per can. a bit more maybe. i did light coats with a 50% over lap of the spray pattern with each pass. painted the bumpers on a tall saw horse.

you need to wet sand the whole bumper first, so it has fine scratches in the paint so the new paint has some thing to bite on to.
you can see the scuffing in this pic. dont go nuts on the edges or hard corners. once sanded/scuffed you need to use some kind of prep spray or cleaner, dont touch it with bare hands after its been wiped down.
front bumper i just cleared it and called it good. the rear i wet sanded the clear and buffed it to a shine.

I've got everything already primed. The front bumper and fenders are brand new with primer coat so I just light sanded the primer coat and called it good on those. The skirts n door panels I had to bondo up and sand/primer filler several times before they came out good and also light sanded the primer coat. I planned on just using dawn and a clean towel to clean and prep for paint. How are you posting those photos like that scotty? Are you just reducing the fie size so it will fit in the post?

host your pics on line somewhere, photobucket or the likes. then copy the pics url addy and past it in insert image icon, 3 rd from the right in the reply window, in the pop up window, click the url tab, uncheck the box to make th epic large.
i used duplicolor prep spray, but you cant use it on new paint or it takes it off.
i primed the back bumper cause i did a lot of repair work to it. didnt sand it, painted right over then the clear, let it cure a few days, then wet sand with 2500 paper and buff with compound to a shine.
back was like this when i got it.
progress
paint and clear.
wet sanded
and buffed

Yea that's how I pretty much planned on doing it paint wise. I just resized some images I took off my phone n saved them to my one drive. When I get home tonight I'm going to try n pull them up on my computer n copy past from my one drive since the file sizes are correct now. My phones not letting me drag n click

pc to the site dont work well at all. why we all host off site. fb works too. load em there, right click the pic then copy the url once again, works for any pic you find on the net.
10-12-2016
Yea but my problem is its not letting my drag them to the box once I upload the image so I have no choice but to try n do it on my computer
10-12-2016
you dont drag them you right click the pic then copy url addy or location, then paste it in the icon window after you click and open that icon.
