Red Scotch Brite the whole thing really well, then take Grey Scotch Brite with soap and water and go over it again really well. After that it'll be ready to spray.

yeah what he said, if it dosent have any major defects you shouldnt have to actually sand down any of it. just scuff n shoot. before you primer it make absolute sure you clean and de-grease it with good spray on prep/de-greaser!! if you can find a place that does it, get some primer with flex additive, some places can put it in a rattle can with the primer. it will keep the paint from cracking when the bumper flexes!
