    Ok, so my hole family all 4 kids and my wife are going to be out of town. Each is going on a different fun vacation, well my youngest daughter will be at cheer camp. I will be left at home with the dogs.

    I've decided to use the time to paint my front bumper and maybe hood. Kind of like a Dave.0 junior, only better looking.

    The question is do I need to primer if I don't sand to bare metal? I know I need to have a flexing agent added to the paint for the bumper(thanks Metalman). And I know to use bulldog on the bumper before I paint.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm guessing you have done something along these lines in the past. I haven't and wouldn't attempt it on my MINI. It's a great money saver if you get it right or close enough for you atleast. There always the old way of throwing enough paint on there to be able to said it smooth and polish it out... Are the dogs saying "go for it master you can do it" or " lets talk about this over a bowl of food"!!! :D
