[LEWI007]

Right i think ill have a dodge down halfords and get the rover grey then ;)

[Pistol Pete]

Or try the Upol stuff. IRC this was a better finish.

anyone know the exact name of the Upol stuff ?

ebay is your friend

[LEWI007]

On ebay, the upol stuff is 13 quid a tin :wtf:

and the only rover hurricane grey i can find is metalic ??

its propably a better idea to paint strip the bumper and back to black it lol

your best bet mate would be to pop down to your local paint supplies look under yellow pages or summat and take the bumper with you... they will quite happily colour chip it up and mix you the right one. my guess is ask them to match it in IMPA get about 1 maybe 2 ltr of it DO NOT use the upol plasticote that people recommend as i paint cars for a living and it dont go on too even on full jobs like that.... so to do it right you need to find someone who has a compressor and a gun:thumb:
