Looks like you have it covered, but after you sand down those hard tape lines in the primer you may need to apply more primer and feather it out over a slightly wider area. No harm in moving your masking tape further away and lifting the edge of the tape (so you don't have a hard tape line).

Hi ,
After i sand it , How many coats of primer i need to apply ? You can please explain me , What i need to do next ? Thanks you |
You only need primer to the extent that it will cover the repair area. I was simply pointing out that you need to sand down those hard paint lines at the edge of your primer, from the masking tape -- and you may need to hit it with another coat of primer after that, for good coverage.
If you had sanded down to raw plastic, you really should have also used adhesion promoter but often on a small spot like that you'll be ok. Here's a more detailed thread on a very similar repair, which might help you as well: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=17258 |

I am assuming you are using aerosol "spray can" products? It is hard to get a good match especially on a silver car, with that. Looks like you got a pretty good result if this is the case.
If you have a good coat of clear on it, let it dry out in the sun for a couple of days then you can use automotive buffing compound to bring the shine out some more -- but be careful because these aerosol products are usually pretty thin and weak, and you can buff through them if you are not careful. |

Looks good - but I can't tell from the photo if the difference is just in the gloss level of the repair compared to the areas around it, or if the paint metallics or color are slightly different. You could try buffing out the rest of the bumper to see if it evens out for you.
