Theres a spot of paint missing about the size of a golf ball on my front bumper, which really pisses me off because i didnt even run into anything. My guess is during the paint job they just missed that spot with the adhesive/primer

so with that said, can anyone recommend me a product that i can pick up real fast that helps keep the rest of the paint from chipping?

I'm looking for like an adhesive that will hold down the paint thats flaking off and then a primer for the spray paint (shut up)

Ok, I'm assuming you're not dealing with a factory paint job. If you just paint one small spot like you're talking about, than it's going to be really hard to match depending on the color. If it's black, it will look fine. You can try to wetsand the whole area down, primer it, and then spray it. If you take your time and find the right color before you paint it, you should be alright. If you want the best results, just take it to a body shop and have them paint the bumper. And if your car's paint in in overall poor shape, just save up and get it all painted. Hope this helps.
