Repainting a second hand front end bumper

Featured Replies

Morning all!

I have just bought a second hand front bumper and it obviously needs some TLC as it's scratched and the wrong colour.

Does anyone have any tips on a set of good products to deal with (in no particular order):

  • adhesion (as plastic is showing through)

  • primer

  • cleaning (after I've given it a good clean with soap and water)

  • Tack clothes

  • Other cloths

  • Finish coat

  • Actual colour (Black Magic Met (?) can't find code in boot, door well, engine )

  • Spray can trigger grips

  • Anything else I've forgotten

Is knowing the type of plastic the bumper is made of important?

Any tips and advice would be greatly received.

TIA

My advise is….just get a bodyshop to paint it. Rattle can paint inevitably looks terrible, primarily due to user ignorance.

This.

With no offence intended, if you're having to ask these questions the chances of achieving a good finish are not high.
