Hey all,
As I have researched more into auto body repair and paint prep seems straight forward. Please let me know if you have any advice or tips here...
1. My front bumper has some pits from rocks. Do I just sand them down so its smooth?
2. My front bumper has a small quarter sized dent I want to fix. I was going to hit with a heat gun on the back and then try to push it out. Any other advice here?
3. For bumper dent repairs/smoothing I assume I need to use some sandable putty. Any recommendations? Should I bother with priming it or let the painter deal with prep, prime before the paint over these repairs?
4. I have new splitters that are poly urethane. I was going to install them on my bumper for fit and finish as they need some holes drillled out. Should I just leave these to the painter to prep, prime , and paint? Or is there any pre-work I should do besides the initial install to ensure they can be easily bolted on?
5. I have new ducts that are a hard plastic. These directly bolt on easily. Again should I prep and prime these or let the painter do that?
Thanks so much. Sorry for the noob questions. Painting not new to me for DIY projects, it is just with car parts is new...
