Acrylic Urethane Paints Here’s how to fix damage to a plastic bumper, right through to repairing the paintwork using colour-matched car paint. Fixing dents and gouges Tools After sanding down the bumper with 600-grit sandpaper, you want to use a grey scuff pad along with Scuff Stuff surface prep to get a nice uniform and smooth surface. It also cleans the surface in preparation for paint. After scrubbing the whole bumper down, rinse it off and let it completely dry. This is all of the stuff I needed to complete the repair, along with some basic tools (drill, screwdrivers and spanners): This car paint is very long-lasting and won’t smudge over onto the original color. “I’m a fan of Rust-Oleum paint and clear coat,” wrote one loyal customer. “I have always used these on my bikes.

Then spray 2-3 coats of base coat onto the bumper so that you have full and even coverage on the bumper. To obtain the best results, you want to spray the paint on wet; if you spray it on wet, it will go on with with a more even texture and result in a good uniform color.

It comes in a metallic silver color that can be used with a high gloss top coat to create custom chrome appearance effects. It is also very long-lasting and will stand up to any brake dust, chemicals, fading, chipping, heat, and corrosion. When you finish spraying on the clear coat, don’t handle the work piece for at least 4-6 hours. Technically, the piece may be dry after an hour or so, but the finish hasn’t hardened enough to be handled. So don’t try to touch or move the workpiece until it is fully cured. Seriously, don’t touch it at all… if it is not fully cured, just touching it lightly can leave a fingerprint or worse in the final finish. Beyond the different bases, paints also have different levels of stages. The number of stages basically determines if a buyer needs all the layers of the painting process or if those properties are included in the base color.

Best Spray Paint for Cars with a Rust Preventive Coating—Rust-Oleum 2-in-1 Rust Reform and SealThe use of an abrasive surface prep and grey scuff pad gives you a final prep of the surface after sanding to cover any edges and corners that you might have missed with sandpaper, as well as smooth out the surface even further to prepare for primer/paint.

Sand the bumper lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to remove imperfections. Then wipe it with a clean cloth. In addition to having a clean paint surface, you should also strive to paint in a clean environment. Obviously a paint booth is ideal, and second-to-that is an enclosed shop or garage. But, if you need to paint outdoors, you can try one of these paint tents. I used a large Wagner Spray Paint Tent (pictured below) to paint, which offers shelter from falling debris and shields you a bit from the wind. Once the paint was dry, I used 800 then 1000 grade wet sandpaper to get a smooth surface again, again using the water sprayer to keep the paint wet. Once it was smooth, cleaned and dry, I used the Pro XL Clear Coat to apply maybe 8 coats of lacquer to the bumper, waiting a few minutes between coats. During all of the painting stages I made sure I moved around the bumper to get paint and lacquer reasonably evenly on all of the surfaces. Step 8: Sand, Rub Down and Wax Bumper With the bumper prepped, it will be ready for paint. The primered bumper should feel smooth and appear uniform in color (the primer’s color). Re-tape the areas that you don’t want paint to get onto once more. After waiting overnight, you may find that the primer surface is somewhat rough. It’s best to sand down the bumper with 600-grit wet sandpaper, as well as a grey scuff pad on areas that the sandpaper has trouble getting to such as corners and edges. An alternative to using 600-grit wet sandpaper would be to use Eagle Abrasives K-Series K-600 grit sandpaper, which sands dry.Apply your plastic filler, filling the damage so it’s standing proud of surface level. Let it harden. When the clear coat has dried at least 4-6 hours, you can remove any taped off areas and move the bumper to a location where it can fully cure overnight. Then you can be confident that the bumper can be safely reinstalled onto your vehicle without causing damage to the finish.
