Just downloaded some old pics from a camera I keep in the car .
This was a MV6 bumper that I bought of BlackViper on here . I'm sure Dave won't mind me saying that it needed a " bit of work ".
It had been painted several times by rattle cans with no prep done prior to any top coat and looked like porridge . It all had to be taken back to a solid workable base which was a messy time consuming job. Once fit for painting I primed it using 2 pack high build and once cured gently flatted it back . I got my solvent based paint mixed up in Scotland . This is because only water based rubbish is available here and I just do not like it. I applied three coats of base coat over the primer and then at least 6 coats of Upol 2 K scratch resistent clear lacquer .
I left this for a few days to cure and then flatted with 1200 , 1500 and then 2000 paper then G3 compound and Autoglym super resin polish. I've got to do another flatting on the lacquer but wanted to wait another week or so.
I did this with a € 15 gun from Lidl and a little smart repair gun I got from E bay for about €8 . These have 1.2 and 0.8 nozzles resp. Great value and incredible performance .
The fog lights were stripped cleaned and the lenses polished with 1500 and 2000 grit and the G3 , brought them up like new .
The Z489 mix is the lightest available called " lighter on the angle " and is one of eight mixes available for that colour !
I've also subsequently fitted the standard lower splitter from the original bumper to the MV6 which finishes it off .
