Haha thanks man, but im no expert.

Its a lot of work in the prep stage, sanding and filling and priming

then it takes abit of skill in the spraying stage.

Shoot me a question if you have one though ill try help

looks quite good.

Did you spray them laying down like that?

Thanks guys, its not perfect. i got one or two runs on the front bumper but they're pretty low down might sand em out when i get a chance. The pics make em look better than they are but im still pretty pleased.

as you see them was as i painted them

Fair enough.

Tip for next time, spray the items as they would be on the car.
So for the bumpers, you want to spray it supported, so the noses are facing you, and not the roof.

For a first go however it is quite good though.

Looks good, better than what I could do

Wats the advantages of spraying them in the orientation they would be on the car?

i did them like that because i wanted the paint to lay flat and the majority of the area on the bumpers is across the front face so thought id better have that flat

Its to do with the way the paint pigments settle down on the surface.

You may notice a colour difference when you compare your bumpers to the car.

Good job though, the clear is nice and glossy

Nice job what sort of equiptment did you use to spray with?

bas · Post by **bas** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 12:42 pm

Well i borrowed a compressor from my GF's dad which was pretty big dunno what capacity though.

And i bought a cheap SCA gravity fed gun from an auto shop forgotton which one but it was 50% off so got it for $50

i didnt use any extra moisture absorber at the gun or a pressure dial at the gun either, haha just the one at the compressor.
