Hey all 2 weeks ago thursday we had some snow n ice here in new jersey i was going into walmart parking lot went to turn and just slide into a curb at 5mph or so did some damage to my bumper.. but i figured what the heck instead of payn 600 bucks to somone else to paint it for me id give it a shot so 120 bucks worth of paint and got my self some new paint guns because the one my dad had leaked a bit and this is what i came up with tell me what you think for my first time painting i think i did pritty good few areas i coulda taken more time on sanding and prep work but it was cold and i was running outa propain and kerocene heating up the garage

 

more picks

 

last few pics

 

How did the paint match color match up? Looks pretty good from here.

 

WOW.. that turned out pretty good.
Good job man...
I'll have to PM you if I get into it with a curb.

 

Good job for 1st timer.... btw change your grille mesh then it will look way better.

 

thanks thats the mesh i got from karnamie or how ever u spell the bumper company.. i couldnt find any mesh that looked better found some at walmart that had bio hazard symbols cut out of it but i didnt like that so post up where i can get some new mesh that would look better ill look into it

 

great job for a first timer.

 

looks great i cant tell differnece normaly unless someone points it out to me but the colors look really close as you can tell in the pics

 

haha thanks sounds good i need a second job maby bumper touch up could be it

 

awsome work dan, send you a pm

 

That's very impressive work...and a good idea as well. This should inspire a few people do fix their own cars now .

 

ya wasnt all that hard prep work sanding on the bumper maken it as perfect as you can b4 you goto paint is the best thing even if you get "junk " paint to spray over the bumper areas ur workn on to see how it comes out b4 you use the good stuff would be a good idea to find high and low spots as you sand and to possably find flaws that would show up with the good paint.

 

that looks really good! congrats

 

Wow that looks good. Thats alot of damage form 5 mph, lol that sucks but it looks really good from what i can see but dont u have warrenty. Plus if u claim insurence doest go up because it was because of nature. But good job none the less
