Can I do anything about this recently f'ed paint (PICS)

It doesn't look THAT bad, I think it shouldn't cost much to get it repainted. Why not just take it to Macco? It's only a bumper I don't see how they could mess that up....

 

Actually, they can.

If there's not enough flex-additive added to the paint, the paint will crack. Too much flex-additive, and the paint will peel. It has to be just right. I've read that it's easier to paint metal than urethane bumpers.

$300 sounds fair, thats what I would charge.

1 - wash with soap & water

2 - wash with dupont 3900 (or a wax & grease remover)

3 - feather edge sand with 220 with a dual action sander or jitterbug sander

4 - go over entire bumper with 320 grit OR use 320 where you used 220 and red scratch pad the whole bumper

5 - wax & gease remover again

6 - They have a plastic prep but I just use alcohol to wipe down bumper

7 - mask & paint

I use Dupont base clear paint and never used a flex additive. I think its for cheaper or differant types of paint.
