Default Paint Question

Is there any difference between the.front and rear bumper covers on a 77? I can't get the primer to stay on the front every time I spray it it looks great till I lightly press on the surface then the primer falls off. The rear is just fine, same paint and paint process works on the rear but not the front.
Ideas?

Are you using an adhesion promoter like Bulldog?

You need to.... as best as possible.... describe your prepping process to these bumpers....and DO NOT leave anything out. Once again...EVERYTHING you did is important!!!!!

The reason being....urethane bumper covers are REALLY TOUCHY....and depending on what you used on them for cleaning, prep, wiping, etc DOES make a difference.

And...just to let you know...Under the GENERAL CORVETTE tab in the FORUM column....you will see the 'PAINT and BODY section. Just to let you know if you were not aware of it.
