Dont use rattle can primer on the body of a car. You will regret it later. Ive had to fix many paint jobs that lifted because of rattle can primer.

The new material is PFRP. Fiberglass coated with fine polymers to make it less likely to crack and ****. It's pretty damn good material. I accidentally dropped the rear bumper on the floor from shoulder height and it didnt sustain any damage. Also PFRP is very easy to sand, which is a plus.

Think you can have that up and running by next summer? It'd be real nice if I could get the kit already matching my car :P

Kareem used rattle cans on his bumper... so I was asking him what he thought. Im not about to prime the whole car, just the bumper/hood

Well I originally used rattlecan primer. But it turned out horrible (all the imperfections were showing). So i got some high build primer in a can that is made to shoot out of a spraygun. I used that and it worked like a charm.

sweet~! ~! I think my paint job was ok, but it could've been better. Wish Kareem was here in the Midwest. Will there be a possibility of having kits painted/shipped to our doors? Cuz that would be bad ***!
