Default Paint Your Own Bumpers Diy

Well I had this nasty looking front bumper as you can tell from the pics, and I decided to do something about it. I got a new bumper with no holes in it, bc my previous one had tears in it.I sanded it down using a palm sander and 220 grit sandpaper.I sanded it completely,Got some spray cans of duplicolor milano red paint from walmart.I also got a filler primer to cover any minor mistakes, I sprayed 3 coats of the paint...2 coats of primer and this is the results, I still say it could use about 3 more coats of clear to get the high gloss of the factory finish, but cant be displeased with these results.

How come I can't see the pics?

I think you need to do a more entailed write up if it looks as good as all the responses are saying.
