Painted rear bumper
« on: May 06, 2014, 09:29:39 am »
Currently have a black textured rear bumper..  But want to colour code it to match the car...

Do people paint this black textured bumper... Or should I look at one of the replica £140 bumpers on eBay that just need paint?

Cheers

You can smooth it down and use high build primer before painting

Try PPCGB. I got mine from there (R32 style with no exhaust exit) for about £120 delivered.  IMHO it looks far superior to a standard bumper painted.

Most bodywork specialists will know how to prep the bumper ready for paint mate, otherwise there's a high chance it will flake.

Yes, got mine done at a local coachworks company. They did the rear and the front (except the black middle section) for £150. When I phoned to see if it was ready, he said that they had some paint left over so he also sprayed my key fob  :laugh: Fortunately, he was just joking (it turned out when I went to pick it up!) it's bread and butter to them, and just takes an overnight for the paint to dry.
