Default What should I do??

Well my car has some crazy *** paint chipping going on on the front bumper only because blah blah i posted the story a long time ago about how the dumb *** before me didn't prep the bumper right before he got it painted and now its peeling like a ****. Theres a picture below which is an old one. Im getting it fully repainted dark as hell gloss black this spring for sure by my dads shop for free. What im wondering for the time being should I just sand down the front bumper so it doesn't look like shat or do you guys think with my sanded bumber and painted car it will look like crap. It would just be the bumper and probably the grill where the emblem is. It's only going to be till about march when I get it painted I hope. Whats ur guys input.

If it were me, and I could find a close match, I would probably chip the loose parts down just a tiny bit till they were still pretty tight against the bumper, and then touch up the rest until time to sand it all down right and paint. Maybe use a light sandpaper to get some stick action, and just lightly go over the affected area, at least it would look decent from a distance until the time to do it right.

Thats just me though, I see people driving around with half sanded stuff all the time, its not really that bad, but its up to you.. If it were me I would feel like someone was staring at my crappy bumper, I am like that.

Leave it. Un painted bumper will look like crap. Even though its already pretty bad, it will look worse.
