Well the guy didn't remember me for a start and that was an instant qoute, no haggling.

 

Interesting, thanks.

 

I need my bumpers doing but my worry would be that the rest of the car possibly isn't quite the original colour and without matching and blending it might not look right.

 

 

Nice work on the deal though - good find :)

Not all paint is equal, if they use the cheapest stuff on the market it will look Kack !!

I suggest you buy the paint, something like Sikkens with their "exclusive" laquer, which looks great and had good stone chip resistance. Going to need proper primer for plastic bumpers too.

At that price he either wants to work for nothing or your getting a crap job.

Its just an over spray so no primer necessary. I had a respray done on my last cars front bumper and drove it a good 10k miles and still looked fine.

Well if its not needed then why bother? Nothing wrong with sanding back the top coat and putting on some fresh stuff in my eyes.

 

So your not having it all painted? :blink: im lost you cant just 'sand' back the top coat.

 

a proper job will need to be primed, flated, painted, clear coated, flat and polished (obviously drying times inbetween each stage lol)

No? I thought that new top coat can bond just fine onto keyed top coat.

 

TBH I'm probably making assumptions here as to what he's going to be doing.

the clear coat on your bumper at the mo can be flated down (wet) and polished but i thought you are having it all painted 'colour' then clear coated again.

 

lol just ask the garage what they are doing before committing to anything, a flat and polish will make it look like new as long as they dont flat through to the paint
