Do I need special paint to spray the bumper on my Micra?

It is a plastic-y, un primed, bumper off a '97 white 1 litre Nissan Micra.

Buck.Do I need special paint to spray the bumper on my Micra?
special primmer yes but normal paint...Do I need special paint to spray the bumper on my Micra?
The bumper has to be sanded and wiped clean of any oil, so you need to spray it before putting it on and keep your paws off it till its dry 24 hours, most new Car's use base coat or clear coat so you would need two tips to spray it, one for the color and one for the clear coat and the additive for flexing on the clear coat. There are special paints for plastic but you don't have to use them. Be sure if you spray it it's away from other people and wear a mask it is very toxic, some people have been known to see things when breathing the fumes and It It could be against the law if your in a city because it hazardous
not really special paint, just a special additive to the paint to make it more flexible and resistant to cracking. i know here in the states, you can go to an auto paint shop, have the color matched, have flex additive put in there and they will put it in a spray can with a special fan tip nozzle.
No The paint that is on the car is the same as it is on the bumper the only thing that needs anything special is the primer/sealer it would need a flex additive because the primer gets rigid after it dries.
Get a garage to do it - with the bumper off, you'll get a really pro job done for about 拢50.
ask the parts department if vinal pain will work.
