Not quite a GTR

Not quite a GTR

Iv`e got front and rear p2 GTi bumpers, but they need spraying and ive been quoted between £100 - £150 for each of them to be sprayed :eek: and i just cant afford it at the mo. its pissing me off too as every time i go in the garage there they are staring me in the face as if theyre sticking their V`s up a me saying "ha ha im still here and still not fitted".
i dont wanna rattle can them the result just wont be good enough .
any offers for someone to spray them cheap for me plz or let me loose in their spray booth would be greatly appreciated!!
i hope this aint to much of a cheeky request but its really startin to get to me and piss me off!
 
You CAN get a good finish with rattle cans..
I'm shit at paintwork myself but my dad recently painted my sisters 106 rear bumper with a rattle can, I think he just scotch'd the old paint to rough it up a bit, gave a dusting of cheap rattle can primer, then a few coats of the Colour from a rattle can also, he may have flatted between coats or something..
But once he had the whole thing covered with the colour, he gave it a few coats of 2-pac laquer from the spray gun, and the result was fine, perfectly even colour and a tough, shiny coating..

you can paint a whole car with rattle cans and get a finish better than factory if you know what your doing and take your time

the whole car is being done with rattle cans
 
yeah craig and rick, my front bumper was painted in my garage with rattle cans.

you can get a good finish. but it takes patience and practice.

christ im hoping to paint a bonnet before next weekend with cans
 
oh an bs7 is actually a mild pearl finish ;)

or so my paint shop tells me.

if your gonna paint it yourself go to halfords and buy "rubbing compound" its in with the sandpapers. use it a week after you paint the lacquer to reduce texture and give it a really good shine
 
to be honest im useless with rattle cans but for some reason im not to bad with a propper spray gun.
the main prob for me with rattle cans is Im not able to use them in my garage as it has been converted into a studio. and outside spraying is a no no due to dust wind insects etc.
 
I asumed that you had only just got the bumpers... I was also talking in the past tense, suggesting it's something you could have done thus would have gotten Wezz's attention.
