After going through a long period of trial and error, the car is ready to be dropped at the shop. Lee and I sanded the entire car with a 250 sandpaper which gave a really smooth result. I made the HUGE mistake of sanding the front bumper with 80 grit and totally screwed it up we had to sand the bumper with 320 and 250 for about 3-4 hours to make smooth again, here are the pictures:

Waste of time on that front bumper using sand paper. Media blasting is the only way to go for a lasting finish. Take it down to bare plastic, then use a flex agent primer... Otherwise you run the risk of the old paint flaking off...

Good luck!
