do you mean the moldings on the bumper?

for me, I would sand it down, clean it first, then primer it, sand it down again and primer until smooth

then putty it and sand and so on until its smooth

and then colour spray (layer by layer) allow each layer to dry for at least a minute or two

and then clear coat it to seal the paint.

lol i just painted my whole car. im sure i can help. (do you have a compresser and spray gun?) or are you using acrylic or 2 pac? how will it be sprayed on... can or spray gun. if its plastic, be sure to spray with a plastic primer. it will just be a clear application which will stop the paint from pealing. once that is done, prime with a normal primer. once dry rub smooth with 800, being careful not to rub write through the primer. once that is done be sure to clean the surface thourouly before painting and away you go ;)
