Colour coding bumpers :S

Post by csmooth21 »

What is the best way to colour code my bumpers??

Can you just spray over them., or do they need to be sanded down . primed n then sprayed??

Is this an easy job or should it be left for the pro's!!

If so , any1 know ruffly how muchh ? ?

Thanks

yeh id do it myself..i might be getin a set already white but if not im doing it myself.

and the bumpers already have a rough surface so u can can the propa plastic primer OR just key them usin wet n dry..then normal primer should stick propely..then paint and laquer.

have u got pics of ur grill cut out mate? iv done mine and just fitted mesh..chek my project log called white rally slag.
