So I have a replacement rear bumper that I need to sand down and paint (black).
Any tips for the sanding process to make it as quick and hassle free as possible?
Any tips for painting it? |

| I wouldn't get too aggressive on it. Use 220-400 lightly and wipe it down. You should be good to go. |

you just rough it out, do a under/primer coat, color coat and clear coat, if you fancy to that.
For me just one coat of bed liner is enough, I like a rough looking appearance of the bumpers. |

Funny, I need to do the same as well, my fiberglass bumpers were painted with a professional glossy finish and they now show a fair amount of chips where I can see a white coating underneath, I think I need to remove all the glossy layer down to the white coating for a flat smooth surface before applying bedliner.
Anybody has instructions on how to remove the bumpers and the front body side trims pieces? |

I patched my cracked front bumper with quick cure JB weld, sanded with 3M 400 scotchbrite and sprayed with Napa Stoneguard.
Unlike Bedliner which IMO is way too rough, Stoneguard has a very even light texture that that looks "OEM" instead of "Driveway"
