So when your done do you want to paint parts for me?

 

Looks great Joe I wish I could do this!

 

good job so far

keep it up and the final product should look just as good.

 

Bumper is ready for base coat and clear tomorrow...stay tuned!

 

Lol! Your garage looks like the set of a "Dexter" episode

Wish I had your talent. Best of luck with your project. In for pix.

 

Here is the bumper after 3 coats of basecoat:


and again:


and one more time:


And finally after clear and out in the sun.









What you can not see is that there is one run on the driver side near the corner marker that I will need to fix a few fish eyes...but overall it came out excellent. And, its a HELL of a lot better than what is on the car now. You OGC guys can attest to that...But here is evidence and why I took on the project in the first place...

 

How close does the paint on the new bumper match the paint already on the car?

 

That looks awesome! Great job!

 

After 8 years I would have to say that its probably a little bit darker. But, with this result, my plan to do the rest of the car is pretty much inevitable so I am not really concerned.

 

turned out great man

 

wow looks like you did a really great job!

 

Looks good, Joe!

 

yea.. what he said ^^

 

Ditto

 

nice work! I'm going to show my buddy this thread. He too, likes to do things himself. So far he's painted two of his cars and 1 of his bikes.
can't wait to see the rest.
