    Default grey bumper paint.

    I have been hunting round for some decent bumper paint. Finally I got some that I was happy with....


    before: (baxters old front bumper)


    after:




    products were :
    upol primer & upol bumper paint: mid grey

    ps. for anyone that doesn't believe you can get flame pink back to red. my car had been out in the sun for 10 years, & then got black overspray on it.
    Farecla G3 & lots of elbow grease followed by red colour magic & it is as good as a new one, apart from the scratches.

    I know. it scared me. I finished it at about 9.30 the other night, then in the morning with a clear sky it looked stunning.


    tbh, there are so many knocks & scratches that once you are about 6ft away, it doesn't look so good. I deliberately didn't do side piccy's cos the doors are getting replaced asap & some git put a styling stripe on with some serious glue that I can't remove yet.

    no, i don't like them. I had one on my old one & it was a git to fit straight

    i'm sticking with the predator. & it only cost me a tenner.
