people have told me spray paint won't work so... been trying to figure that out...



I live in az and if things fade and burn its here, ive had pretty good luck with this stuff BUMPER PAINT get it at wallmart or homo depot. my only regret is I should have done more layers because the rocks and sand are doing a lot of damage.

so you can see that the paint is still pretty black, it would be much nicer if the paint has not been destroyed by thousands of rocks, rocks that have broken my window (ready for number 4 now) both fogs are smashed, both turn signals are smashed all the paint is toast.....ugh

In southern AZ if you don't have tint you are insane especially since the AC takes about 20% of the horsepower out of a Metro. My wife bought my tint for me as a present. She got a Groupon for it and I think it was only about $70 which is a screaming deal. I say go with a pro and go as dark as possible. I don't know about percentages but I would ask to get it everywhere you can as dark as is legal! I had that home shit on a couple of cars I bought. It went purple and it bubbled and it looked like shit. I've had my pro job for several years with no issues and I L O V E it.

yeah the bumpers are faded pretty bad lol people have told me spray paint won't work
Get "trim paint". Clean the bumpers with alcohol first, works great.

Or, you can put "Back to Black" on them, it's like really thick Armour All. Problem is, once you put that on you have to wait for it to be completely gone before you try to paint.

I used Plasti-Dip on my bumpers and they look great. Cleaned with acetone, then sprayed.

plasti dip is another way to do a bumper, my dad lives in utah and i did his bumpers a few years ago in all white to match his all white car, still looks great to this day. thats in the cold and salty roads and stuff.
