I picked up a set of perfect bumperettes on CL for $20 just to have as a spare (if I ever needed them I figured they'd be way more than $20 from a Dealer). But, I'm thinking of painting them or having them done. This way, I can mix it up and change the look should I want.

To those who have done it, what is the procedure? Are they sanded then primed first or do you go straight to the color coat (Guards Red)? Are they clearcoated after this? Any worries about cracking clear vs just color coat? Anyone find color-matching 'plastic' paint from krylon and such?

If a shop did them, is there any flexible type special paint which is used that I should ask specifically for? Did the shop sand them, or was that something you must do in advance?

Any info is much appreciated. TIA
