Rear bumper of my Accord has some small dents and scratches from being hit in a parking lot. Not worth getting repaired and painted by a professional given cost to do so relative to value of car, but it's rather unsightly.
Since a bit of DIY sanding, rattlecan priming and painting made a dent on the rear quarter panel (described here) much less obvious, I figured I'd tackle this myself as well.
Couple of questions:
1. The car's paint is Honda nighthawk black pearl and I have some spray paint in this color from the rear quarter panel painting. Is this the same paint I'd use on the bumper, or is there different paint for the bumper?
2. Can I use the same primer I used on the rear quarter panel, or do I need some kind of plastic primer?
3. Other than the above, I assume bumper touch-up work is essentially the same as body touch-up - i.e., light sanding, clean, prime, paint?
