I gave mine a rub with a scotch pad to key the new paint and used a satin black to paint them.I have always done my bumpers the same with all my vans and never had a problem.

Cheers Jim ,Tidy van but was badly needing a full service,Funny thing is it was really clean in the cab and in the back,defo not had a hard life but will need to change the front discs as they are well down,and the backs will be needing done before long.Plus had to put two front tyres on it.Doubt its been looked after properly but saying that it pulls like a train and everything works as it should.So i,m well chuffed wi it and i got a good price on my old yin lol.

Hi Karl ,Work has never stopped for me , I have built up a good client base over the last 20 odd years and most of the work i do is repeat customers or referrals.Saying that it helps when you have a good position listing on google So when anyone searches on google for a "painter in stirling". I am at the top of the listings, Has always been there and has never budged in the last 8yrs. Touch Wood.
