#48064, "DYI exterior painting question"


          

Last summer, I removed the thin plastic thing in the middle of my smiley-face bumper and spraypainted the inside of the grill/radiator area black. The dumbshits that painted my front bumper when I hit a deer painted it silver, and I wanted it black again. Now, a year later, It's cracking, chipping, and peeling where I painted. This, of course, was because I didn't prep it or anything, I just sprayed because I didn't really care that much then. Now, I want to do it over. How should I go about doing this? I'm not much of a painter. Should I sand it down, prep it with some sort of special paint, and then paint it black?

Thanks guys.
