has anyone had their bumpers done to match the car professionally...and if so.bout how much it cost...or has anyone done it theirselves?
 






I painted the urethane covers myself (Oxford white) with a basecoat/clearcoat system. I chose the least expensive system "Omni au" which is an econo line by PPG and is available from most automotive paint supply stores.The color is very very close The covers have a slight texture to them but this will disappear when you wet sand the clearcoat with 1000 grit sandpaper. In any case,remove the covers and clean a few times with simple green then an automotive wax and grease remover. Preping is extremely important.
