ok, bout two years ago i got the grey bumper bits on my front bar re-sprayed body colour by a professional panel beater place. when i went to pick it up he told me that soon the paint would flake because i used to put tyre shine on it (make them look glossy) to which i said 'did you use wax & grease remover?' he goes 'of course we did, but it still didnt come off' asked him 'did you try it a 2nd time?' but either way wasnt getting too far with. when it did start pealing i noticed there wasnt any sign of primer. one of my mates told me plastic primer is clear? anyone clarify?
long story short paints starting to come off. i want to sand it down, put down a coat of primer then respray it myself. i need advice on what grit sandpaper i should use on the buzz to remove the paint. should i use plastic primer or will normal primer do?. and i got the paint code (J073) if i go to a paint shop what should i ask for? all i really want to do is put it in a spray gun, hook it up to a compressor and spray and let it dry and thats it. no mixing, no laying down one coat then clear coat.
here are some pics. all advice is welcome..
