I have been thinking about doing this myself, but is so much sanding is necessary?

For the bumperettes I think the order of importance is:
1. Paint matched correctly (metallic is tougher). I like Paintscratch.com's combination of rattle can and flexible primer.
2.Take your time with light even coats and plenty of light to medium clear coats as well as sanding.
3.Prep is important but much less difficult than the soft material on the interior.
In the end, I think I could have done better with even more clear. The shine is better after sanding with 1500-2000 grit followed by good 3m rubbing compound and finishing with the 3m hand glaze. Bumperplugs probably lays more paint and clear on than I did.
Here's an angled shot that shows there's not a 100% perfect match but what the heck, it was done with a spray can!
