Can a common person sand, prime and paint their own rear car bumper cover?
I have a bumper cover that is already in excellent shape. However, it is a dark blue. I need it to be black. It has the typical shiny car finish on it.
Is this something that I can sand off, prime and paint myself somehow? It doesn't have to look perfect because the paint on the rest of the car has actually become dull over the time. The reason I'm changing it is because the other one was halfway destroyed when someone ran into the back of the car and shattered half of it. I know how to take it off and put it back on. I found the old one for about $33 at a pull-it-yourself junkyard. There are no visible defects in it.
What would I need?
Added (1). I should also note that this is either an ABS plastic or fiberglass bumper. The part that attaches it to the car is metal. It came off from a 2003 Ford ZX2, but all of the ZX2 bumpers are interchangeable.
Special flexible primer for plastic, and very even coats, I'd rather pay shop-time.
- Why doesn't car manufacturers provide their own car insurance? I always ask myself this question. Why doesn't the Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Nissan, and more provide their own car insurance? It's doesn't make a lot of sense to leave the insurance duties to companies that knows little to nothing about cars. Plus, Insurance would be cheaper. Sick and tired of getting RIP off by the Geico, and State farms of the world. What do you people think?
- What's Christine Blasey Fords prime motivation for choosing now to speak out? 36 years is an awful long time to hold your peace. i understand a woman would need time to get over such an ordeal but 36 years? is it purely to stop Kavanaugh getting a highly prestigious job? Hes been vetted and taken many highly prestigous jobs before this 1 over the last 36 years what's her prime motivation for the timing of her accusation?
- Should Sears and Ford HIRE Dotard McTiny as their CEO and get profitable again! If he can get Foreign Diplomats and American Lobbyists to? Pay $350.00/night to sleep in a tiny room in an old Post Office and keep it FULL and VERY PROFITABLE, don't you think that he could come up with an idea to save 40+ thousand American jobs?
- Should I wet sand after multiple stages of dry sanding? I'm restoring/painting my 79 ford truck. I have got the whole truck down to bare metal but there's scratches you can see when the light hits it. I'm in the process of smoothing them out using 80 grit then 180 grit then 320 grit but I'm wondering if that's gunna be smooth enough and not show any scratches after my paint job is done. I'm also using bright baby blue if that makes a difference
