Yes,I would imagine they do come in bulk,in primer ready for spraying.
Anyway....today I gave the car a good shampoo with Turtle Wax and a dry with microfibre towel...it was filthy.
Standing back afterwards,I must say the bumper does'nt look quite so bad.
The body paintwork is now gleaming which makes the bumper look a little better.
Im happy with that and will give the body a good polish soon with Autoglym which may help even more.
Thank you all once again for your very informative replies.
