Default Sanding and painting/re-texturing black bumpers?

Has anyone sanded the bumpers of a 200/700/900? Will it smooth out the texture and lose the characteristic look?

My bumpers have clearly been painted in the past with bumper paint, and so I can't just apply any kind of restorer. I have to remove the paint that is flaking and repaint. A while back I found a stripper that is good for plastic, but it has been discontinued. So the only option is sanding.

I know the paint itself has texture, but I'm affraid of smoothing the bumpers way too much. Although I do need a bit of bondo on one corner, so that one bit would lose all texture anyway.

Does anyone have experience with this type of paint?


Here's a video of a guy using it. Detail of texture at 5:11. Do you think it would look good on a 940?
