For bumbers there is bumper specific plastic primer that would most likely help with black coat sticking to the paint. If you dont care about the OEM bumper pitting i'd also use sth like 180-320 sandpaper on whole bumper before applying primer and base coat, so it lasts even longer. Proper way would probably also be using matte 2k clear coat or even glossy one if you prefer the glossy finish. it has to be 2k one for uv resistance and strength though.

Thanks for your advice. Yes I might give it another go with primer first this time. I'm not sure what sanding might do as the plastic itself has a rough texture on its own. 2k clear coat definetly will protect it better but the first layer of course has to stick well to the plastic in the first place. Again, appreciate the advice!
