paint to take

Hello,

Few weeks ago, I scratch the real bumper a little. Not very bad but will a few black dots scratch mark. I went to the local paint store get the paint match up. I apply 25% reducer with 75% paint (was told) but when I apply to the bumper
using a spray gun (paint brush) looks like it don't take the paint.

I repair a little rust spot on my Carmy on matal and looks pretty good and no problem. It must because of the plastic bumper or I missing something to add to the paint

thanks !

Take a look at the website listed here:
http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/storefront.cgi

One of the products listed on the order list is described as rubberized primer:
This is a special rubberized primer used for priming non-metal parts such as flexible bumpers and plastic parts. It is not recommended for metal parts.

Maybe this primer would solve the bumper paint problem ... If you try it out, be sure and post back with your results.

For plastic, you need to sand the area, keep it very clean (wipe with paint thinner or acetone) and then use Flexible Plastic Primer. Then paint.
