this is just a example to see if i realy like orange

it was rubed down with sand paper then some plastic white primer then high build primer then a rub down then a other coat of white normal primer then orange.

[gemini]

the sandpaper will scratch it to bits, only needed a scotchbrite pad

[intransit89]

thats what i used its like a sponge but with sand paper on so yeah scotchbrite pad thats what you call them then

[BILLY BOY]

that looks nice and bright, you gonna give it another coat

[BILLY BOY]

colour coded bumpers are nice if there done properly, plenty of coats to give depth to the finish

what iam saying is would you leave the mk4 grill gray or have it orange with the rest of the van front bumpers etc or leave the grill as gray as the one i sprayed is a spare iam planing before i start one

[madmark]

myself personaly i dont like mk4 grills painted

[FredTransit]

Yeah gotta say it would be better in grey than the body colour

[transitgeoff]

they were always black never grey

[AlanN]

I agree that it helps to break up the all that colour, maybe dark grey satin and clip-out the mesh and replace with some stainless

Still havent made my mind about my rear bumper yet either. Brought all three peices new, but Im reluctant to paint them, but I was going to wait until next year when its hopefully painted. Anyhow, Im now waiting until you do yours...
