So we decided to have a crack at the big patch of missing paint on my bumper as it was getting annoying to look at every morning.
Before:
This is what happens if you just try and paint the gap with no prep
Yeah.... :?
So, after wet sanding until smooth, masking off the surrounding areas and adding 1st layer of primer I got this
needed to sand this down again twice and layer up to get it nice and then once happy I added the first layer of delicious Magnum grey
Already an improvement I say :thumbs:
after adding 3 more coats I added the clearcoat. This needed 5 coats which I then wet sanded to remove any dribbles and then T-Cut and polished.
End result
Not bad for a first try if I do say so myself :thumbs:
Still a tiny line is visible but compared to how it looked before it is a massive improvement.
Afternoon well spent, Now where's that Cider?
