ok well my front bumper is a little beat up. i have a little experience in painting parts but do you guys think this would be an easy task to fix my front bumper. (the picture shows just one side but thats the worst of it and its only in sections so i wouldnt really need to repaint the whole thing. I was thinking i can sand then prime paint...ect but only the sections that need it...)



thanks

 

Hey if you still need that replacement bumper, I have one for you. It's for a 94-95 Accord and it's in unpainted and in great shape. I'm somewhat local too so you wouldn't have to deal with shipping charges.

 

You could paint it...but see all those "webbings" its basically broken, hit up phatboysi with a new bumper

Also I would take it off and see what went on underneath

 

so if i tried to paint over the webbings they would just show up again?

 

Your just better off buying a new bumper.

 

Probably since they are fractures not only in the paint but in the bumper too....IMO do it right and replace the bumper

Yep. Otherwise you'll just be doing all over again because it looks bad again.

Thanks for the vouch man! It looks like in the pic that he does have a 94-95 and the bumper I have is in perfect shape and unpainted in black. I'm willing to sell it pretty cheap too.

 

If you find a good body worker, you will be fine just repairing it from what I see. Unless you are damn good, you wont be able to prime and paint just the areas that need it and still have it look good. I've only seen one painter be able to do this, and I've used him ever since If you take it to a good place they will probably be able to fix it for $250 - $300

 

if you know how to prep it, the spiderweb will not show up after the paint. most bodyshop do this everyday so it's not hard to do.

the decision factor is the cost, if phatboy gonna sell you one cheap, then why try fix the old piece

 

this is true....phatboy how much are u looking to get for the bumper?

 

&lt;===has spiderwebs.......

get a new bumper....and save yourself the hassle
