Why bother, it's a bumper and only gonna get rusty anyway. Paint it with some textured paint and be done with it. But if you must lay down 3 coats of paint let it dry for a day, then hit it with a 1000 grit paper.

I'm painting mine this weekend too. And yes, I wet sanded with 600. Mostly it was to fix a fingernail scratch I left in it from touching it before it was dry. But the wet sanding will help with the finish.

Use a spray bottle and keep the area wet.
