Yes, used this on my KA and the results were great - you'll need around three cans though if you wish to do both front and back!

Yes - Halfords Bumper Paint Black 300ml will be Ok, however it will be important to pre-clean the surface (after abrading as well) to remove any oil etc from the surface and lightly abrade to improve the key.

Hey,
Unless you have scratches you wish to fill or cover you don't need to sand. As long as your bumpers are even you don't need to do anything else!

I would use a light scotch pad or scourer being careful not to break the plastic surface, remove any loose material , wipe down with methylated spirits before applying light coats of the black bumper paint.

No if you want a textured finish you will have use a textured bumper paint , Mastertex textured plastic paint will do the job , and then over paint with halfords bumper paint to get an optimum finish .

Question
What information required for paint mix?
I have a scratched bumper and will be using your repair kit to carry out a repair. I will also need a bumper or coloured matched spray. My car is a Dodge Caliber so unfortunately not within your standard range of paints but I am aware that you can make a paint mixture.
The paint is called Inferno Red but my understanding is that you require a specific number, can you tell me what this number is referred to or called so that I can request it from the manufacturer. It would also be useful if you can advise a typical example so that I may be able to identify it from the vehicle itself.
Thanks in advance

The vehicles paint code is located on the VIN plate under the bonnet, if this code is provided to one of our colleagues in store they will tell you which paint is suitable for your car
If the customer obtains the relevant paint code from the vehicle and takes this to store we can produce a match on our in-house mixing system. Please note this is not available at all stores, please call your local store to see if they offer this service.

Question
Satin black or bumper paint?
I have a Saxo front bumper which is unpainted black plastic on the bumper bar itself and sprayed green below the bumper bar. I would like to spray the green part to match the black plastic bumper bar as closely as possible. Would bumper paint or satin black paint be best? What finish does the bumper paint give - gloss, matt, or satin?
Thanks,
Andrew

Bumper paint will perform better than Satin Black. The bumper paints contain a combination of resins that have improved adhesion to plastic
bumpers. You need to make sure the bumper is cleaned thoroughly before painting, and all traces of any bumper/vinyl dressings have been removed. Any trace of such products will severely effect the adhesion of the paint. The finish is between a matt and a satin.

If you want an exact match check the Halfords colour reference library and see if your colour is in the range. Ensure bumper is cleaned thoroughly first then apply Halfords adhesion aid (HAL156680), followed by primer (if required) and then colour-coat. Adhesion aid products of this type dramatically improved paint adhesion on plastics and other problem surfaces and are used extensively in the professional bodyshop sector.
