Tigz™ Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Mate I skimpt hen I did mine, and 12 months on Im having to get it sprayed again.Take it to a body shop.I have managed to find someone who repairs the accidents on Trucks to paint it, in a top spec spray shop for £50 for my front bumper and £70 for my spoiler.The paint alone will come to £40.If you can talk someone into helping you out, you can get a top job done for little cash.

WanabeGangster Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Smoothings a piece of piss, I did all the arches on my golf and they look mint. Just lots of thick primer and a paint brush. Then out comes the electric sander to get rid of the brush lines. If you can get hold of a spray gun, do it yourself, cos you'e got a solid colour you dont need laquer, and 1litre of cellulose paint is about £13. £3 for some thinners and your laughing.

lupo_1.0 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 what primer do you mean. role or spray? i can get the right tools for the job. just not the spray gun. but i can get the primer and a block to sand it all down with and the paint, so i should not have a problem.why a paint brush? you can use a roler and make it flat?

paulbin Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 its a really thick primer that fills the texture, just make sure u key the bumper first and then use plastic primer then the primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
