My rear and front bumpers are damaged so I bought new ones from certifit, and instead of paying 300$ to get two bumpers painted decent from maaco, I am going to do it my self, does any body know a good paint for bumpers?
thanx

get a spray can made up at a local automotive paint shop, they can match the colour code found on the vin plate. did some repairs on mine with paint from a local shop called margems.

didnt come out bad, atleast i dont think..

just make sure the spray can comes with a wide spraying nozzle. will lay the paint down better.

+ make sure the prep work is done well
