Hycote Matt Black Bumper Paint

Recommended this by Dunc, apply to unpainted bumpers to restore original colour etc, eliminates need to use back to black!

Anyway, just a WIP pic, needs a few more coats, but seems like it will look nice when fully coated up eh?



This is how Chris' 16v bumper will be done, Dunc's gone over a Tungy Grey 5 GTT front bumper with it and apparently it comes up okay, but due to the damage - chipping etc, think I'm gonna have it repainted professionally.

the reason that bumpers chipped like that is cos it wasn't done right by whoever painted it, sand the thing back, probably find the original tough blue under the white primer
