Yo,


I want to matte black out a section of my front bumper already painted in the color of the car.

Now I don't really want to take off the bumper to paint it at a shop as it's just a small part of it, so what I want to know is, would spray paint work and would it be durable?

I'm not rubbing out the OEM pain to bare bumper so I doubt I'd need to flex coat itt: just scuff it and then spray the black.

And so far I only have rustoleum high temp paint or semi gloss black enamel available to use...

 

Plasti-Dip.

 

you can use spray paint if you want. make sure you protect surrounding areas from overspray. take your time. maybe sand what your painting so the paint will bite

 

i second plasti dip we used plasti dip to do the "evo mod" on my buddies cobalt and it came out great and if you ever get sick of it you just peel it off its great stuff!!

 

Like I said I only have access to rustoleum Semi gloss or High temp where I am...

Will give it a try and see.

 

plastic dip will be a better way to go but he did say its just a section of the bumper. spray painting will be cheaper way and will look good if you do it right. either way good luck

 

Probably could order that but it's a HAZMAT item and it'll cost too much to bring it here... and anyway I'd think the paint will hold ok.

 

Here's the plan:

Car as it stands now:


Planned "mishimod" lol

 

for that just paint will do the job bro. like i said just sand the surface some. well wet sand it.
clean evo VII btw

 

thanks man

 

Vinyl.

 

I thought that, but not sure how well it'll apply there and worse yet the rock chips etc that i could just simply respray.

I did that to my other car with vinyl once and scraped the bottom of it... had to redo the whole thing and guess what?


LOL.

 

Vinyl will hold up better to paint as far as rock chips go. Also, once you paint it, there's no going back. Vinyl is cheap and can be reversed.
