Refurbing bumper...

Edit:
Sprayed the bumper gloss black but it's far too black and shiny... anyone else had to do this and can tell me what colour paint you used and where from. Thanks

Edit2:
Is the back bumpers black strip removeable?
if so I may just buy another from scrapyard..

sand down with sand paper and if that fails then get some bumper fill and fill it in a spay gloss blackk ...

if yoo decide to sand start with p400 go up through the grades all the way till you hit p1200 and then get some back to black stuff on it

should work havent done it personaly but work on my door trim as was a bit melted in places by fags and stuff but i sprayed mine gloss black ... hope that helps

Thanks for the advice, where did you get the gloss black and was it the exact same colour... im quite a perfectionist with everything matching

i ment spray all the bump strips gloss black .., i dont think there is a paint that matches the plstic colour :/ if you dont wamt to spray it you are gunna have to get a new bumper orr spray all of the bumpstrips matt black and it will kinda look the same colour of the plastic
