Owt like that damage, I try to touch damage in with a teeny weeny brush, build paint up slowly, then flat it and buff it, accept it is what it is, problem with rattle lacquer is it doesn't fare well over time compared with proper 2 pack.
Doesn't matter none if looks right enough as you've done it, I'm very adept at producing patchwork quilts out of car paint jobs.......

Funny you should mention 2pak primer.

Plan is to repair the front bumper and paint. Then lacquer.

Then I am going to go full professional with some 2k lacquer and have it shine like a diamond in a goats arse!

I tried to get the front bumper off but the nut was spinning the bolt and stuck. Got fed up so painted the brace between airbox and ECU.

Then played with my new parrot remote control so I can actually hear it.

Rock and roll!

After pestering @DiamondPerformance for an age on whatsapp I got down to 3000grit wet and dry , a lot of warm soapy water then some cutting compound which I applied by hand.

For an amateur effort its a solid 8 out of 10 and I dont think you would notice the repair unless I pointed it out. Sure the lacquer isnt super glossy but it doesnt catch the eye either!

Happy overall.
