Can JDM Pearlescent White paint be sourced in the UK?
if you can do the bumper with-out having to colour any where near joining panels you might get away with it not being so noticable,plus bumpers tend to look a shade off anyways if its got to be done edge to edge then good luck lol its a lottery

bonding a fibreglass spoiler
yes stick some sealer over the holes before fitting i always ruff up the paint and the spoiler ,once fitted and gone off put a thin bead all way round to stop water getting in ,none need on the rear though as the rubber strips go in there that run across the top of the lights,plus make sure you can still get these in before the glue sets lol

Any experienced painters to answer this question
hi plastics always show a diff shade,some colours worse than others but to be honest any pearl cant be matched un less the same person does it the exact same amount is put on even in the exact same way some-times you can blend the colour but never edge to edge,plus the more pearl the more it changes and angles play a major part as one way it looks o.k and from another it can be way off

fixing a smashed front end
the idea of spoting with mig is drill a hole in the new panel and weld it to the old panel filling in the hole penatrating on to the old panel hence if you drill all the way through makes much harder as nothing to weld to
-
fixing a smashed front end
hi mate the idea is to only drill through the panels you will be taking off this way when you offer the new panel up you only have to spot the panel on ,if you drill all the way through then youll have to plug weld the two panels together alot harder work filling in holes with weld also as above get it as straight as poss before removing and trial fit everything before you go to made with the welder try and work out direction of impact and reverse with pulling hope this helps andgood luck

I decided on a paint colour..
understand you want to take the challenge on but full respray will cost more in cans than your estimating plus any bodyshop will not want to take on the job if it goes wrong with-out stripping all the paint you,ve put on, back-off , which will cost as celly and singe pack can only be described by myelf as flatting bubble gum cause it does,nt seem to really dry and does,nt seem to keep its shine i admit you have seem to got a really really good finish on the bumper though

look into how much it will cost in cans to do the lot might find it not much cheaper than getting a self prep done at a proper bodyshop
