Brush painting plastic bumpers

Postby Rifleman » Wed Aug 23, 2006 10:42 am

Twice recently I have seen Ford transit camper vans with white painted bumpers, but I've not been able speak to the owners. On inspection they both appear to be very neat hand painted jobs, not sprayed which is exactly what I would like to do to my motor.
Has anyone got any ideas on brushing paints/ cleaning/ primers, and top coating plastic bumpers ?

Cheers Steve

hi
i used that repaint years ago when i was in my teens lol painted a whole car with it if you take you time with it the brush marks disappear and you coudnt tell thought it was pretty good till i learned to spray it think its the same stuff they use on boats and that i may be wrong though!
