lee grout Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Progress looks good. Like to see it all on the car complete. What happening with your front bumper then? Looking for another or gona spray this one up now you fixed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 ive give this one half a spray job n took ur advise about black primer. il use this bumper but will keep my eye out for another one though. yeh i want to get it all done but im not 100% confident at throwing myself at things like brakes and suspension and the like. if i can get someone with a little more experience to help me then progress would be a shed load faster than it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
