Rear Bumper paint

[Fico]

so i was thinking of painting the stock rear bumper on my TW ep3 black, not the entire thing just the bottom part thats kind of sectioned off. what do you guys think? what kind of paint?

[Fico]

no ideas?

great idea, if i didnt have the type r rear bumper and lip i would do the same, i would paint it flat black personally...go buy some duplicolor from autozone, thats what i say...lightly sand it with prolly 320? maybe 600 grit first, just to rough it up so it will bond, then wipe it down with laquer thinner to make sure that no contaminents are on the old paint, then make sure its dry, after that, mask and paint...

I was thinking about doing the same thing. Maybe during the summer. Let me know how it turns out.

Don't do it. Just get an HFP rear lip, it has the same kinda look (flat blackish on the bottom). It will look better anyways.

Too much $$$! Painting it will be much cheaper.

[epshtielsl]

HFP is hotter

HFP is hotter

painting is less bulk added to the rear and is a more subtle look...maybe he doesnt want the flatter bigger backend too??? hmm???

Probably. I never really liked the EP without some sort of lip kit on it unless it is SLAMMED. Just my opinion.

So that is what you were looking! LOL

I have no ideal what was used. When I got my bumper replaced (for the third time; don't ask) I told my painter to paint it flat black. He told me he had just the right paint.

I would assume any spray paint would work if you sanded down the clear coat!
