"How are you doing? This is Marcell Porter from Expert Village and we just primed the bumper and what we are going to do we are going to wet sand it. But first you want to remove the bumper, put it somewhere stable so it could be sanded and ready to paint. First thing you want to do is you want to soak your towel and your paper you want to keep that soak and you want to sand in short strokes. You want to sand all the color off until it is done. Once the color is finish it would let your know that your done sanding in that area. You want to keep that process going until the whole bumper is sanded. Key to wet sanding the bumper is keeping your paper moving, getting all the areas together, moving around, keeping it nice and clean, you want to keep your area soapy, keep it moving, get all the cracks and you want to do this throughout the whole bumper. The better your paper the better your paint job."
