Painting Stock Bumper Cover...
Hey all!
I am going to paint my stock bumper cover and was wondering if there are any links to some DIY sites that have a general step-by-step instructions (or) if any of you can give me a basic list of what to do from start to finish and what paint is best to use (phew!) I am going to do it myself until it comes out the best way possible so any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks! Cyber |

use an air compressor/spray gun.
wet sand, wet sand, wet sand, primer, wet sand, paint, wet sand with a VERY fine grit, like 1500, clear, 2000. take your time |

Hmm, I was told that primer may cause the paint to chip. I was also told that I should look for a paint that has a flexing agent in it... does that make sense? Sheesh, maybe I should just take it to a shop!

It would definately be easier to have a shop do it. But if your proficient in painting and have faith in your abilities, then try and do it yourself. Just take your time and have patience.

flexing agent is great. be sure to prep right....the results once you paint will show how well you prepped/didnt prep.
