Abrasive, masking stuff, primer, possibly clear coat, possibly filler or bodystop if it has pitted, possibly a welder if it is worse than it looks!

If your going for rattle can i;d get them from Paints4U, slightly cheaper than the dealer but the paint is slightly thinner which makes it easier to use, I tried both on the bumper I painted, only had runs and problems with the dealer stuff just becaise it was so thick. Add to that it only come in small aerosoles about enought to to a wing mirror ;)
