Painting Front and Rear Bumper Covers
What exactly do I need to paint the bumper covers. They come in primered. Other than the pearl black to match what other tools do i need. Clear coat? any sanding and buffing envolved? special adhesives like antistatic stuff? Whats the best paint to get or clear coat? And its all going to be done out of a can. If it is too hard to match the color perfectly using spray cans then what do you think a body shop would charge? Car is a 98 civic.

Re: Painting Front and Rear Bumper Covers
Honestly you're a lot better off letting a body shop do this, it's pretty hard to make anything out of a spraycan match and look good.
You will need adhesion promoter or expect the paint to peel off the bumper in no time.
