You'll need to rub your bump strips down first is they have a textured finish. Start with something like a 320 grit then finish with 1500 grit .Now clean / degrease them with panel wipe . Next a few coats of plastic primer . Rub them down again with 1500 grit until they are nice and smooth and your happy with the finish .

Make sure they are clean and grease free befoe you apply any primer ,paint etc ... ,use some panel wipe , maybe even a tac cloth .

Spray with the colour thinly , too thick and it will run .How many coats is up to you , personally i'd give them at least 3 possibly even 6 , again depends how thick you apply it and when your happy with the finish .

If the finish is good apply the lacquer .If the colour is a bit rough rub them down with 2000 grit and clean thoroughly , removing any dust , grease etc ...

If you apply the lacquer too thin it can give a slightly matt finish , too thick and and it can go a bit cloudy and run . A bit of trial and error here .

Leave them to cure for a few days then polish them up with some meguiars scratch x

Do it in a warmish environment ( not your bedroom , lol ) .

Thanks mate, this has been bookmarked for when I decide to do it. Where can I get most of the above products from like the primer and the sandpapers?

Thanks


Also to bmh.01: Back bumper looks brilliant mate, great job Do you think you would get any spare time in the Summer holidays maybe to colour code mine? I would be willing to pay for them as yours look in excellent condition and also drive upto your if possible. PM a price and any times your available or just post back saying "Sorry mate but my skills are priceless!"

Did you get them from ebay mate? I can't actually tell the difference between these and the 172/182 ones...

 

[Kneel]

Yeah I got them off of ebay, they only had a very light coat of primer on them so it cost a few ££ to get them sprayed and fitted but I think it was well worth it.
