My first spot job!!

So much has changed this month!  Got a new paint gun, Devilbiss Plus!  Finally got  the buffing backplate for  my Dewalt Buffer and finally had the opportunity to test out my theories to help a friend!  
Thanks to Kevin, I got a hold of a 2013 bumper, I forget what car but UJ was the paint code lol.  Amazingly I wasn't nervous and was very excited about this opportunity.  I got to put my training to the test...

The bumper had a large gash!  First, I needed to solder the plastic back together before the sanding begun!  Kevin helped with that!  Good thing he had a soldering gun!

After that, sanding with  180 began,  Tried to smooth out the unevenness on this substrate!
 

 Second I applied the finishing putty and out came out the  180 again... I had to apply twice to make it as flat as possible!
 After that, I primed with 2k and walla!   Note to self, stay clear of cheap primer for next time :)  I left the primer  overnight for the morn!

In the morn, the fun began! Prep for paint!!!
