Why didnt it go well mate, I want to do this, Would like to get a head up on where you fucked up ?
and why dont you just re sand down, and try again :)

P.s you did wash the bumper strips free from dirt and wax and make sure they were dry and stuff, then prime them etc fisrt didnt you? ( Not assuming your a fool ) Just asking.

yea i did prime it all first, it just went wrong with the masking tape around it, wen i peeled it off there was loads of parts the went onto the paintwork and bits tht didnt get covered on the bumper even tho i spent ages gettin the tape good

but im gunna attempt to do the parts it missed again and sand down the parts tht went on the paintwork

i just masked mine off and sprayed gloss black paint on haha, no peeling, flaking orange peel affect, guess im just lucky, hadent peeled in the 6months that i had them done until i sold the car...and i belive they are still ok, try holding the can further away, apply less paint but more coats :y:

when i did mine i used news paper and tape but i also used some rim tape that i had left over so could get it close to the join and bend it and that :y:
