| Re: painting standard bumpers...i need help on how to do them n wot to use! As far as i know it U'll have to rub the whole thing down with Wet+Dry paper Then 3 coats of primer (is it 3?) Then 3 coats of the same colour paint Then 3 coats of Gloss Finish This in turn could take a while for drying so prepare your car to be off the road for a while I know wing mirrors take a good day As for bumpers - a good FEW days Ziggy
