Not had the right conditions to get under the van, so turned my attention to another job .
i bought a brand new rear bumper off ebay a few months back ..it wasn't quite the
right colour i wanted it; was dark grey.
I thought no problem , may as well strip the finish off it with paint stripper and start with bare metal. - as i wasn't sure it was painted very well ..
Wrong, it was painted very well with something like powder coat or epoxy and very thick coats ..and the paint stripper only softened it ..my visions of it bubbling up in five mins and me just washing it off vanished - 2 hours later after scrapping and wire brushing, just the one side was done ..and that's how it will stay.
Turns out the bumper is very well made, thick metal, very well and painted - good value me thinks ,
so recommended ..you may have to change the colour through ..but don't strip it!
They have put the price up £1 since i bought it

More sanding and prime it this afternoon, if it stops raining.
All the best.mark
