Budget bumper repair
 

The paint on my rear bumper was flaking really badly, the before pics were about half as bad as it was right before I painted it. I sanded off all the paint by hand which took f o r e v e r, gave it a few primer coats, wet sanded, a few silver coats, wetsanded, final silver coats, and a few coats of clear. All rattle can btw. Looks really good for what it is. Cost me about $20. Hooray for FC owners! :p:

Its not chipped in the after pictures btw, those are water droplets along the trim.

Looks Great!
Paint doesnt' match :(

Still a great job though :bigthumb:

Now, do your whole car so it matches :D

:bigthumb: Shows how good of a job $20.00 can do.

i was thinking of flat blacking my whole car... but i dont want to sand and strip the whole thing before i actually paint it.

will automotive paint or primer stick to spray can paint?

impressive

thanks guys. i know the paint isnt an exact match, but you can only tell when you look from the side where the bumper and the fender meet. i figure id rather have that than a bumper with no paint on it at all.
