Rattle Can Day - Front Lip

Jayhovah

Came out great. I have been thinking of repainting my whole front bumper with that stuff + the 2k clear the DeliriousClam recommended... but I fear if the match is just the slightest bit off it may look bad for a whole panel like the bumper.

I hear ya.... My bumper has held up pretty well. Only a couple small blemishes thus far. And to be honest, the bumpers on the PW don't match the rest of the car perfectly. They are just a bit off.

You painted your whole bumper with this as well?

I seen this before but just in pics not in person. It did look like the pw bumpers are a shade or so off the rest of the car. I thought it was the angle of the pics or something that made it look like that

I did this and it came out awesome. Sadly I can't say accurately how well it held up because someone hit me in a parking lot a few months after painting it and I stripped it. It's still waiting for a repaint

Awesome.. It's cheap enough to give a go and I can always take it a pro if it comes out bad. I want to shave the front emblem pretty badly as well.

Did you wetsand the basecoat before clear? Can you even wetsand a metallic base? Maybe I need to learn a little more about painting before I put this on the list.

Here's a couple better pics. I wet sanded and applied some Scratch-X to shine it up. I think it looks pretty good

I also ordered the 3M clear bra and another set of rattle cans for the next time.
