Hey guys,

Picked up a used civic hybrid, and the rear bumper has some battle damage.

I want to wet sand it with 800, get it nice and smooth, respray with oem paint mixed in a spray can, and stick a clear coat on it, then wet sand with 1500 to 2000.

Will that do the trick, for a OEM type finish? Advice on where to get the paint, and what type of buffing method after?

thanks!

and a pic, because it is HT!



Yup, shes a manuel!

 

help?

Thanks tealdx!

 

i dont think it looks bad. it's a daily, it's supposed to have battle scars, i say keep it as is.

 

Its the rear bumper -

about 1/5 of the thing doesnt have paint on it anymore.

 

oh ok, thats different

 

any advice on paintscratch.com

Does their paint match pretty well, the stuff in the spray cans? (base coat stuff)
