Alright so im getting a good deal on a looks like a gt4 front bumper, and a rear bumper of some sort that looks good. they are both primered and are in good condition. but heres the thing, i dont feel like blowing $200 on getting some fresh paint when maybe i could find a cheaper way with the same quality. nothing can beat a professional, but if i were to paint it myself, what should i do, from beggining to end? and btw the bumpers will be off the car, i dont want to bother driving around with primed bumpers and having to tape stuff off, so the bumpers will be off the car for this.

- make sure everything is done right in the beginning. all of the flaws in sanding, and filler work will show if not done correctly.
- the environment in which you paint will change how close to the car you spray. make sure humidity is down! - wet sand and buff the final product! painting is a daunting task. it is amazing how great, or terrible paint can look. if you do it yourself be sure to research. good luck hope everything turns out well! -------------------- |
