Front bumper dull look
« on: 27 October 2024, 06:03:22 PM »
I recently did a bit of bumper painting on my son's Focus. When I got the paint for that, I got a rattle can for the Saab as well as I have to paint an Aero front spoiler lip, and a cover for my sharkfin aerial.

However, the front bumper has dull paint in areas that I suspect have been previously been rattle-canned. So I am wondering if I am better off rubbing the surface down and spraying with my mixed rattle can when I do the spoiler lip and sharkfin cover, or rubbing down the existing paint and just lacquering it?

Any tboughts/recommendations?

As you car is plain black and not metallic, you may get away with some rubbing compound and a coat of lacquer.

That's what I'm wondering. Got to be worth a go. If the base coat starts to come off, then I revert to plan B with my 170 black rattle can ;)
