How can I paint a car bumper?

I recently got a new bumper for my Nissan Altima. I wanted to paint it so that it matches the rest of my car a little better. How do you paint a car bumper?

Painting your car’s bumper is a great way to make your ride look great again without shelling out a fortune.
Just follow these four steps:
  1. Sand the new bumper to create a smooth surface and remove any imperfections.
  2. Clean the bumper thoroughly with paint preparation solution and a clean microfiber cloth.
  3. In a well-ventilated area, apply a base coat to your bumper.
  4. Finish with a clear coat to protect your base coat and add some shine.
  5. Allow a few hours for your bumper to dry.
