Re: Bumper Painting?
Well, I started by painting my front and rear bumpers, but then realized that my trim pieces and my splash shields in the front and rear didn't match my bumpers. So, all in all it took 3 cans of Duplicolor Bumper Coating and one can of Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter.
You don't have to remove the bumpers. You just need a roll of masking tape and about an hour to prep each bumper. You'll want to tuck the masking tape under the lip where the body panel meets the bumper to make sure you don't wind up spraying your car's grill, fenders, etc. The trim pieces/splash guards were different. I personally didn't feel like going through the trouble of removing the front inner splash guards so I used newspaper and masking tape and masked off the outside of the fenders, tires and wheels and then coated it with the Adhesion Promoter and followed with a couple coats of the Bumper Coating. Came out great. The rear splash guards, however, can be removed simply by removing 4-5 bolts and can be painted, then reinstalled.
