putting bumpers to gloss

[welshy23]

I was wondering how easy it is to put the bumper back to a gloss colour on my VTR it looks as if the previous owners have scrapped away the gloss from the bumpers to leave the plastic, or so thats what it looks like. How easy is it to return to a gloss? Thanks

Just a matter of removing the front and rear bumper and side strips, masking up, sanding down, then spraying isn't it? :wacko:

Seriously...take it to a bodyshop and get it done properly.

Wouldnt cost much tbh

That's the best advice. Mine was done at a bodyshop and looks perfect!

I've seen no end of car's with diy job's and they just do not look as good. I know the folks put a lot of time in, but you can't beat a professional with a booth.
