Spraying Small Bumper Trim Inserts??
« on: 08 May 2005, 17:34 »
Hi guys.

I have small Bumpers on my Golf and they have a red insert on them , anyway  id like to spray these silver to match the colour
of my car. Are there primers and sprays (Must be Vw Color) that wont crack when there bent around to fit the insert into the
bumper? I wanted chrome ones but the ones ive just got from a scrappy are rubbish..

Anybody help? And suggest the best way to do this simple job?

 :smiley: Any advice would be helpful!

as long as you sand them with really fine wet and dry then use plastic primer you'll be fine.
