    Well…

    the best way to repair it is to take the bumper off, repair and prep it then either blend the base (or base the whole bumper) then clear the whole thing.

    If you want to do a spot repair, it will be a lot easier with a paint gun than with an aerosol can. You really need a lot of control (fluid, volume, pressure etc) to get the base and clear to blend out really nice.

    If you are doing the whole thing with an aerosol can, I can’t help out too much. Best of luck to you in any case
