Hi,

My 90 Civic Si needs a new front bumper, along with a new bumper filler peace, and I'm wondering what would be the best way to go about painting these parts. Ive never attempted to paint anything like this before so some sort of detailed explanation on how i should go about doing this would be very helpful. Id rather not use a rattle can, I want this done properly, going out and buying a cheap air compressor and a paint gun isn't really a big deal, besides, if all go's well ill probably attempt to paint some other things too.

Pic of the car currently just because:

Thanks very much for any help/advise!

Matt

i suggest u go to a community college and learn there thats what i did, i did not know anything, and the best part was you work on your own car, i paid 100 bucks for the class they have everything u need, the only thing i suggest is buy a good gun, the ones the schools have are cheap and leave u with orange peel

 

hey its not the gun, its the painter, I paint with a cheap 20 dollar gun and I never get orange peel. My buddies all have a 200 dollar gun set, but yet they get backspray, and orange peel still. Practice on anything you can before painting and be sure to read tips and books.
