Trim pieces, handles, wipers are fine, anything larger and it's almost impossible to make it look OEM without having a very good hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post finish product when I'm done with the "project" Most dealers only stock very common colors, black, white silver. It shouldn't be more than $13 for a 150mL can, a regualr size can is 400mL and not available in your color. I looked it up last week for some weird reason. At least a dealer can have it next day if you order it early enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'll do a bumper, you guys think I can do it? I bet I can!!I think you can, just watch for orange peel and make sure to wetsand the paint before applying the clear coat. I just don't think Dave can, no matter how much of the process is explained to him first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I repainted the rear bumper of my friends white s70 with a www.paintscratch.com rattle can. It wasnt perfect, but it really did look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a good point, most of our vehicles are showing signs of fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
