im sorry for saying this as im am brand new to the forum....:I
but im a paint sprayer by trade for the past 17 years and must of colour coded hundreds of punto bumpers in my time... we had a contract with reg vardy fiat and the previos owners to colour code new punto's both bumpers and wing mirrors...
there is no difference in plastic quality between the smooth and textured bumpers...
regarding spraying the textured ones so they look smooth is a simple process..
regarding u take note of these instructions..
flat the bumpers with gray scotchbrite and matting paste,wash off well, and mask up the inserts...
de-grease the bumper, then tack off..
spray clear plastic primer on bumpers first, leave for 10 mins then wet on wet primer, leave for 15 mins, spray on any 2k paint - 2 coats, leave 5 mins between coats.. then let bumpers dry either 30 mins in a oven or overnight..
after 2k is dry, flat bumpers with 320 grit paper, de-grease and tack off.... then spray on desired colour....
an arse on but cheaoer than buying 2 new bumpers....
If u believe look 2 the dawn.. There can be only one true god
