It only rained whilst we were taking off the bumpers it was a brilliant day, until we had finished spraying i am after a bigger shed but that will come in time!

This was our 1st job its not a fulltime thing not even a parttime just a bit of help to mates and stuff i enjoy doing it, his front bumper will be sprayed again next weekend and then we should be alright!;)

Rub all those painted bits down with wet 1500 wet/dry.
And then use cutting compound on them, that'll give them more shine.
