4 hours and $50 later
I know this has been covered before, but IMHO, a nice return for a few hours and a few bucks.
http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...2/IMG_0671.jpg A few cans of paint, some sandpaper and a little elbow grease and...... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...2/IMG_0673.jpg Painted Bumperettes! http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...IMG_0676-1.jpg Pretty happy with the results from this less than amateur painter. |
Nice work! Great look for our a$$ ends. And "freshens up" a 986's look. Easier to detail is a bonus.
|
hmm...do you have a link for that vendor? I just had my front bumper painted and a few days later I hit the driveway curb at too steep an angle which scraped the side of the bumper. This sounds like it would do the trick.

Nice!
I like the groovy wave license plate, we need those in Georgia :) |

Paint came from automotivetouchup.com. I also considered paintscratch.com. I also did the bumper on my pickup truck with less than stellar results. Not sure what went wrong, but the finish turned out matte, not gloss. Good luck with your project. |
Nice job!
The rear of the car looks great, Gforrest2.
That motorcycle looks good too. It appears to have a lot of chrome. What kind is it? Any pics? |

Looks great. I may have to do this as well. Nice job and since I am an amateur as well i think I could do this. Great job.
|
by the way, say someone rubbed up against you while parked and scratched your handwork. Is there enough paint left over to do this job again?
thanks for the link. You guys should check out the video on the automotivetouchup.com site. |

If you want your truck bumper to shine, try wet sanding with 2000 grit paper wrapped around a sponge. Then rotary polish with 3M 5973 rubbing compound, polish then wax. |

The Boxster is every bit as fun as a bike on a nice day, with the top down and a twisty road ahead. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...17_640x480.jpg '09 Ninja 650R and '06 FLSTN Softail Deluxe http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...42_800x600.jpg My main ride. Even though the Ninja is not a true sportbike, the riding posiition is just not comfortable for this old man |

Oh, and buy the trigger adapter that fits over the can. Makes the job a whole lot easier. |

I would love to learn to paint, I know it can't be that hard. |
