Originally posted by rkneeshaw3.0: Cool, thats exactly what I bought, a 5" palm sander and some 60, 100, and 150 grit paper. Thanks for the headsup about applying the filler over paint, I might have just sanded it rough and then filled on it
Which would have looked fine. BUT, the filler would have bonded to the paint rather than the bumper itself. The first decent bump would have pulled the urethane and the paint it had bonded to off After the amount of work getting projects like this to look sweet, that would have been a major PITA to go all the way back and redo it from the stage you're at now, all the way to painted/clearcoated.
