In this post, I will show you how to spray paint a plastic bumper that was improperly painted by a local body shop.  After paying hundreds of dollars to a body shop, you would think that the paint job would last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is not always the case. Not all body shops know what they are doing. Some of them just try to cut corners. As a result of the improper repair process, the paint on the bumper of this Mitsubishi started to peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to repair this damage is to strip the old paint, apply plastic adhesion promoter, follow it with primer, touch up the paint, and clear coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will take you just a few hours to complete. You can do it over the weekend. If the weather is nice, do it outside in the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing it yourself will save you a lot of time and money. Bodyshops charge anywhere from $300-$500 for painting a bumper and you will be without a car for a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since most of you don’t have any experience, I’ve tried to make this tutorial as easy to follow as possible. You can watch the video first and then read my step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
