bumper damage
« on: 21 July 2010, 08:41 »
Couple of questions.

1. I bought my Mk3 a couple of months ago, it's Mystic blue (purple) and have noticed a few cosmetic bodges from the previous owner.
The rear bumber has had a scrape and has been badly colour matched on the corner, what primer/ paint can i use? or is it just normal car paint......... i wasn't sure as it is on plastic.

Also halfrueds don't do my paint code, do the main stealers do paint in an aerosol?

2. I also found a few paint marks/ scratches in various places, whats the best thing to get rid of them? is T cut an option or is there something better.

cheers

Normal paint mate, well its a 2 part - pearlescent paint with a clear laquer.

Yes you can only get that from a main dealer in an aerosol can.
You will need the paint code so do a search on here.

"Mystic" Blue at that :laugh:, i do like the coulour it's got a kinda tonic thing going on in different light.  I just thought everyone refered to it as purple.

I have got the code it's LC5L, have you got any ideas on price?

thanks for the info mate
