My paint is peeling on the front bumper, big chunks are coming off and it looks terrible! I dont' want to spend 500 dollars on getting it repainted....Any suggestions on a quality do it yourself fix?

It's hard to make paint stick to the raw plastic bumpers. I had to deal with this many times when I used to work in the body shops.

Apparently your front bumper was replaced in the past and they probably didn't use an adhesion promoter to soften the plastic which makes the paint bond to the plastic better.

Whoever you have paint it, make sure they use a good adhesion promoter this time. Auto Body Supply can help you choose a god one to apply before the paint.
