DETROIT it all depends on if the bumper cover was previously painted or if it is bare plastic.

Bare Plastic Application:

1. Wipe down the area to be painted with our PS100 prepspray

2. Lightly scuff down the area with a red scotch brite pad

3. Wipe down area again with PS100

4. Apply a light coat of CP199 Adhesion Promoter

5. Apply our filler primer FP101 to help fill in any imperfections

6. Wet sand the primer with 800-1000 grit paper to smooth out and imperfections.

7. Wipe down area again with PS100

8. Apply your color coat

9. Apply your clear coat

Previously Painted Plastic.

Everything will be the same except leave out step 4.

Always follow the directions on the back of each can before use.

Enjoy :D

Yes the adhesion promoter can be used over bare or painted plastic.
