My fist post here and of course it's asking for help! I've decided to paint a few panels on my Miata, beginning with the rear bumper. I purchased adpro, epoxy primer, 2K primer and UV clear to go over a PPG DBC base. My question is, what stage am I at with this bumper prep? I had visions of taking it to bare plastic but am wondering if that's necessary. The spider-web damage came out much faster than expected. You can also see some spots where the clear was lifting.
At this point, it feels smoother than I would expect for as rough as it looks. I can't catch a fingernail on any edges. So far I've used just 150 grit Norton Hook & Sand on my Porter Cable buffer, with a little hand-sanding with the same paper. Should I try to get it all black? Mottled like the close-up? Is adhesion promoter even necessary or should I start with the epoxy?
Thank you very much for any help. I've already learned a lot from lurking for a couple weeks!
