Got around to painting the front bumper. I'm pretty satisfied. Especially for spray cans

Looks great... how did you go about prepping the bumper? Always wondered how to paint plastic bumpers

Primer, 400 grit wet send, adhesion promoter then sprayed. I got the clear coat with a catalyst in it so it came out shiny. Didn't have to wet sand/buff

So primer right on top of the old paint?

Very nice dood! Where in the heck did you find paint to match rattle can at?

I sanded the bumper as it needed some repair anyways (typically you just scuff it up). Then sandable primer, wet sand, adhesion promoter, paint and clear.

It's not the best and I definitely see more flaws in my body work. But it'll do for now before I get the whole car repainted down the road. Again, not bad for spray cans IMO

Rudy- I got it from paintscratch.com a little pricey but it's a really good match. I read reviews about that site vs the others and it seemed to be the best overall match. Even has a good amount of the Pearl mixed in.



And Bc I can't stop staring at it.


I have enough leftover to paint the grille. Might get that fitted better then give it a shot.

Looks good, nice job. As for me I didn't do it but my car has been in the shop addressing a coolant leak. They kept figuring it was coolant pipe o rings, but after replacing multiple times, now they saw it was the gasket to the water pump.

Hopefully it's fixed for good, cause I've been dealing with it since winter. They also surprised me with a new o2 sensor which cured a CEL I've had for over a year.

I stopped buying anything new for the car to save up to fix these issues, but the shop were standup guys and it was on the house since I had been dealing with the leak for a while. So if I don't see a leak for the next few weeks I'm mod hunting again lol.

Bored on my lunch break today walking through Pull and Save. Found me some red needles. I can't stand the yellow ones.

Nah man, I wish.. Automatics are handy but I miss driving my dads manual Miata, driving it just feels so much better than my auto.

Agreed! If my G had more power it would be better but for now I use my stereo as entertainment.
