bumpers

[dooooney]

what materals do i use to make a new bumper sideskirts watnot so wats best im building off my old ones imm doing my new grill at the moment but mesh and bog filler wont work on the whole bumper so pls some 1 help me

[-tucny-]

the stongest way to make em, without the carcking all the time is GRP (fibre glass).

u make ur bumper, skirts etc.. out of anything u want, cardboard, plastic filler, filler paste or whatever. then when ur happy with the look smooth it all up and paint it with 2pack paint or a strong sealer. then wax the lot with a special release wax or equivelent (different types available). build up a few coats of the release agent then gel coat it all, when that starts to go off cover the lot in polyester resin and glass fibre matting. n repeat a few times

if ur takeing a cast off a complicated shape u have to make it in a few parts so itll all come apart, and go back together.

when everythings set pull ur cast off ur template n u have a mould for ur design. then wax, gel n resin in there n u have a fibre glass bumper, skirts etc..

its a piece of p**s to do this process when u get the hang of it, ur materials will cost u about 250 quid. practice makes perfect n the finished product will be worth it.
