Will this bumper fit my existing mounting points?

Yes. Before installation, verify that your vehicle's OEM mounting bracket locations align with the panel's mounting holes. If any holes require repositioning, mark them on the FRP and drill as needed — FRP drills cleanly without cracking when using a step bit at moderate speed.

Should I sand this before painting?

Absolutely. Sand the entire surface with fine-grit abrasive to promote paint adhesion and ensure an even finish. Pay attention to any seams or edges where the mold parting line may be visible — these areas benefit from extra prep work. A clean, properly prepped surface is the difference between a show-quality result and a mediocre one.

What kind of paint system should I use?

FRP accepts automotive urethane and acrylic urethane finishes without issue. Apply your chosen primer and topcoat system following the manufacturer's instructions for substrate preparation. A quality clear coat will protect the finish and make cleaning easier over time.
