Well im sick of the faded grey look of the front bumper so i have decided to spray it black as suggested by FunkiSi. Just finished the primer coat so a bit more to do yet. Then the idea is to smoke the front clear lights to blend it all in. Love doing these little projects.

 

Happy days

get some pics up :smash:

wish i had somewhere i could do mines its pouring down here!:( look forward to some pics.

 

dan.:)

yes mate i have put one coat of gloss black on. Going to let it harden over night and get some more coats on tomorrow. That plastic is very odd though, was forced to buy a special primer because the other primer wouldn't take.

 

Post finished pics tomorrow:)

nice one mate and keep it warm you dont want moisture to get on it:)

Sh1t i know i forgot something lol

D,

 

Probably too late for this, but if its damp, and heating is a problem, nip up your local Tesco or whatever, get a few packs of salt and sprinkle them on the garage floor overnight. It attracts the moisture, keeping it from settling anywhere else. Just a temp thing tho, as it will only last a wee while, but should be enough to get the bumper done.

Old trick for ancient classic cars.

 

Get some pics up when finished mate.

What a tip, thanks for that cheers:bow:

 

Not completely happy but it gives me the idea what it looks like. Im going to re do it in the summer. Job is not to bad but the moisture was an issue, going to do it in a glossier black next time. Does look better though.

I like that !:cool:

 

I personally would keep it to a Satin black and not a full on gloss, but just my 2 ps worth !

 

Nice job there fella !

 

Alan............

Looks great from here, best colour too. :D Silver that is, not black. lol

Richard:cool:

Yer it certainly freshens the car up. I agree with the number plate too, i want clean smaller plates.

Looks a tidy enough job Damo, good man.
