painted bumperettes?

[rgriffin]

Anybody know how to paint the bumperettes? What kind of paint, where to buy paint, and prep. Any info would be great.
Thanks!

go to paintscratch.com and order some paint and clearcoat
then sand down the bumperettes and paint as you would anything else.

Unless your 100% sure you know what your doing take them to a shop. Bumperettes run for about $150 a set,if you mess them up theres no going back.

I paid a shop $150 for the first set and $75 for the 2nd set. Just tell your shop to sand them down and you want a flush finish to match the car.

I used the paintscratch.com kit with the flex primer and they came out great... And I am no master at painting. There is enough there to repaint many times should you mess up.

Thank you all so much for all your input!

Richard, you could also consider doing a "core" swap and get them from www.bumperplugs.com. Eric's work is excellent, and you could be done before the weekend starts.

...or you could go to advance match or color, buy some primer and do it up just fine for under $10 that way. That's what I did and they look perfect. Just take your time. Painting is not rocket science. Surprisingly this is the only pic I have of the back of my car. Guess i'm not proud of not deambering that part yet lol. Anyway, here's a shot of my bumperettes...

Unless you know what you are doing around a paint can. He knows how to make the paint as flexible as it can be and does multiple coats so the match is perfect.
