(S) Matching Bumpers?

Hi all,
I was just wondering what all your opinions are on me spraying all my bumpers white to match the body work? Also I was wondering how hard it would be and any pointers on how to do it?



Cheers

I think it'd be fine.

Take off the bumper (one at a time!), thoroughly clean and degrease, spirit wipe, 600 grit wet or dry, spirit wipe, plastic primer (else it'll crack and fall off!), de-nib if necessary, white to match body colour.

you'd be better of getting hold of some bumpers already colour coded from another car. they will be smoother, save a lot of sanding work and you'll get a better finish!

I'm not bothered about labour work, because it's all part of the fun.

Ok thanks all, will post pictures when I'm done.

Cheers

if you thinking of sticking with it, and not upgrading to a sporting.

why not go for the full arbarth kit? would look awaesome in white!

completely agree'd!!! would love to have a white abarth....might spray mine

the future... get it done!

instead of the future is bright the future is orange....the future is bright the future is white yeah i'd be tempted to if i could afford it!

only problem with cinqs, is all the bare metal inside too, so ideally needs to be a proper full job. thats why i kept mine red (and black), to keep the cost down.

white abarth with black inside would look nice imo

yeah spose if its black you'd get away with it. cos of the matching contrast. could tie in black wheels easier too!

If the surface is really rough, go to 400 wet or dry: I'd not go coarser than that!

The advantage in starting from an unpainted bumper is that you won't have to deal with all the paint cracks caused by contact parking!

Good luck, and pics, please!

I know they did a seicento in white, but it was an SX model, I would love to see someone drop that 60mm with some sporting wheels, interior and an abarth kit all round. Would look awesome I think.
