Hi everyone,
I'm new here, and i need some advice. Basically i'm poor and i want to colour code the bumpers on my corolla myself. Could anyone here could guide me through the process of doing this.
*What steps need to be taken to do the job right, and what sandpaper sizes do i need?
I've been told by a friend that this is how it's done,
1) Rub back the bumpers with scotch brite
2) Wax and grease the small dent in rear bumper, and fill with "plastic bumper bog"
3) Once done repairing, wax and grease remove and wait until dry
4) Undercoat the bumpers with plastic bumper undercoat
5) Paint a "guide coat" to rub back to undercoat with 2000 wet
6) Dry, then wax and grease remove and paint coats of paint
(I've been told to paint the small part of body filler first, then proceed with the rest of the bumper)
7) Once the coats have been done and are dry, paint in a few coats of clear straight over paint (no rubbing back) until the bars look nice.
Is this the usual process? Anything missing here? i want to do the job right. Thanks for your help in advance fellas...
