Repainting Front bumper.

Repainting Front bumper.

Postby ToyoSolV6 » Mon Feb 15, 2010 3:01 pm

Alright everyone before all the flamming starts.

My front bumper is pretty messed up, about 2 years ago i had a little accident wich caused my front bumper to get pretty messed up and scratched BAD!

I dont have the funds to pay like 3 or 400 dollars for a new bumper paint job so im planning on painting it myself with duplicolor bumper paint

I know sounds cheezy but ive looked online a lot and found a lot of people that have done it.

So im going for it. Process will start pretty soon, i will keep everyone updated on how it goes and i will show pics on the process of how it all turns out.

I think the hardest part is to get the paint to match.

I rattle canned my lip. turned out good. u might need a bunch of color and clears for the factory shine.
