Spot repair on front bumper,which paint 2 use

[allkarma]

Hi everyone, I have an 2007 astra that has a major scuff on the corner of the bumper,which will need some body filler in places.
I was wondering which would be the best approach to respray the damaged section.

1 Respray the whole bumper
2 Repair the damaged section,body fill,prime ,base and clear
3 Which paint to use 2k base or 2k gloss acrylic
4 How to blend acrylic on a repair

I have fully resprayed 2 cars in the past,one in cellulose,and the other in 2k base and cleared it in lacquers,altought i have never used 2k acrylic which most shops do theses days.
If i was to use 2k gloss acrylic would i repair the section as if it was celly or should i use base coat and clear

Many thanks for any advice.

what do you mean by 2k base ?

2k means 2 pack paint ie the paint and the activatior (not thinners)

if its metalic you will need base coat for definate and 2k laquer is the best available

if its not metalic there may be 2 options solid colour base coat and laquer or just a solid colour 2k

when you go to the paint supplier they will tell you whet the original paint system for you car was

if you intend to blend it then you will complete your repair if any plastic is showing use a plastic primer followed by your usual primer 2k or otherwise flat it off a 1000 gritt wet n dry good size bigger then is required for the repair cover the repair with base coat fading the thickness out towards the good area so its almost transparrent but leave enough good flatted area to take the laquer afterwards dont laquer past the flatted area or it will peel leave to dry and polish.

there is a little more to it then that but it gives you an idea
