If you want a perfect match, go to a place that will mix an aerosol for you. I've taken in a petrol filler flap and had them match and fill an aerosol can before. A large can cost me about £1391 Modded 3B

Any tips on painting plastic bumpers, like what kinda primer??? The bumpers i have are already painted so maybe a thorough rub down is enough???

Always use a good primer dude, two or three of good two pack them rub down again being careful not to rub through.Ragusa Coupe gone!

Do you not have to add plasticiser to the paint to allow it to be flexible. I have my rear bumper painted proffesionally. IIRC it was about £200. Nice job though!Originally posted by iain1067

On bare plastic you can spray a plastic adhesion promoter on first but if its already painted its not nessesary. Plasticiser in paint makes it matt so unless the plastic is bendy i wouldn't bother.
If in doubt pay a painter to do it, isn't as dear as you think by the time you've bought all the materials it only costs you the labour.Ragusa Coupe gone!
