Bumper Colour ?

[vaughanmc]

Does anyone know the paintcode for the original Nova plastic bumpers ?

There was a thread somewhere but I can't find it anywhere

I know Hurricane Grey is a good match but it needs to be near-on original colour

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers, Vaughan :thumb:

Hurricane grey without laquer would be your best bet matey :)

[vaughanmc]

I done that with my sideskirts and theres sill a wee bit of a shine from them...

Done my old Astra wheels with no laquer as well and the shine from them was mega

I'll keep that in mind though Jay, cheers :)

Its a textured primer. So might be easiest to talk to a bodyshop and see what they can get.

Hurricane greys a bit light in my books. Iirc.

[Jay]

Can you get a Matt Grey for example, not sure if they sell that in halfords lol

[Benn]

Matt colours suck balls.

Matt colours suck balls.

True Matt black for instance is sh1t! but would look ok in grey imo on bumpers.

Aye, Matt colours don't tick any boxes for me - Especially Matt Black lol

I'll drop Ade a PM, he bound to know the colour

Let me know when you find out mate, would be nice to know. :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

No problem :)

[Benn]

I loath matt black.

[vaughanmc]

Does that mean you hate it ?

[Jay]

Does that mean you hate it ?

Yes he does! lol

[Benn]

Yes wit a huge passion. Looks utter sh*te on every.

[vaughanmc]

I have a wee liking for Gloss Black but Matt Black does my head in lol

If somethings to be painted it should be done really good with a nice deep shine

Matt paint is no good at all

[Benn]

Sorry but in my eyes, nova bumper shouldnt be black.

[vaughanmc]

No they shouldn't but Nick Jackson's really works well with the Red and Black

[Benn]

Nick's and simp's did yes. But i still dont like black bumper.

Upol bumper paint!!!! I done my sideskirts with it and it matches original bumpers.

Ebay it, it will have a number on it, 4 or 5 or something.

This should be your best bet as the tin will have Vauxhall listed on it, supposed to match original Vauxhall trim.

He'll just tell you to put the contents of your sandwiches on the bumper lol

I don't like matt colours either. Satin is where its at, especially for bumpers.

I do like black bumpers though. Ash's old red 1.2 looked good with black bumpers.

[mayhem]

motip has a bumperspray, its in 3 colours available. i did my snowplough with it, and it looks alomst OEM, and no shine.

there some pics in my WIP thread
