ok i would like to fit a tec 1 valance but unfortunately the bumper needs attention first,
what sort of equipment am i going to need to spray it myself
i think i have accseess to some basic air spraying equipment at the garage...
what i am wondering is
i) how many different grades to sand it back and to what grade no.?
ii)how much and what tyupe of undercoat
ii)will any factors whip up some diamond black 181 for me and again how much will i need?
iv)should and how should i laquer it?

i know any pro's reading this will probably be disgusted but i have a steady hand and a good eye and considering most of the bumper gets hid my the valance i feel with the right knowlede i can do an adequate job
cheers
