have you ever sprayed before? got a 100+ litre compressor? can it hold more than 8.5 cfm? have you got booth facilities? you ever worked with water-based?

If you answer no to any of those, don't bother. spraying takes alot of time and prep, aswell as experience. the money you'd spend getting all the bits you could have had it painted properly.

don't do it! you'll be able to spot it a mile off

as above really , its generally okay on smaller things i.e mirrors , plastic bumpstrips etc etc but as soon as you start messing with wheels / bumpers upwards it will show a mile off

 

[renclio]

its genereally okay if you are just spraying plastic trim etc but once it comes to a whole bumper i dont think i would do it, will be able to tell that you have sprayed it a mile off

i would leave it mate . if the bumper is in good nick then your lookin between £50-£130 ish to get it painted depending were you go . its ok trying it yourself but at the end of the day when it goes to the bodyshop to be painted instead of just scotchbrite all the bumper (which takes 10 mins )it all has to be sanded down and corrected if its a bad job which is more expensive so you get that charge added on .
so unless your confident at doin a good job its worth savin up .
