painted bump strips

[1835harri]

Just painted my bump strips. what you all recon. honest opinion now. its only temporary until i get my hands on a post face lift bodykit

Also fitted my dump valve the other day and on my way to get my induction kit !!!

Looks good mate, better that the big black marks!

 

[1835harri]

did it all myself !!!

From the the pics it looks a good match, I thought Onvi was a nightmare to colour code. Looks 10X better all yellow though

 

[1835harri]

well from that distance it doesnt lok that bad. there is a tiny difference because the match wasnt 100%. when i bought the spray he told me to use grey primer. but after having read articles, i found out i needed white primer so had to do it all again wasnt happy

Look good fella,

certainly better than my attempt at the delocking debarcle...

looks really good mate im defo goin to do mine now.. i was thinking about it and that just shows me its a good idea to do it till i get a more permanent option

good job on the spraying

do you mind if i ask how much the paint was ?

 

[rice-c87]

i think i will get myn done while its in getting the body work sorted out shouldnt cost much more

I did mine too, needs redoing though so i will be 100 % happier about it then!

Bit of an Arty Farty picture really....

 

[afcajax73]

ahh nice 1 fella.. good job there looks better

 

[youngsyd]

Cheers, ill put one last pic up, dont wanna hijack the thread!

Its needing to be redone as its annoying my, its not covered as well as i thought, but looks ok from a distance!

hi all
did it to mine but would recommend getting the pre primmed ones.. as the orig black ones primmed up still have that ripple/bubble look to it..
pre primmed ones end up smooth.
this is the primmed bumper strip sprayed up..see nice and smooth

where from mate? and are they costly?

 

[youngsyd]

Ive tried no end of times to get these from the dealer but to no avail!

Any part numbers, as i work for a skoda dealer and can get cheap!!!!

got them from the stealers mate, not cheap around £20/£25 for some plastic..where as the standard ones are cheaper but the look isn't as good tbh

 

[afcajax73]

i might just use some filler primer... thats what i did with my punto.. looked quite nice

Looking good syd,

Think i'd deffo get the primered strips if was doing this, but spraying's not really my forte, i'd prefer to get a body shop do it, tbh, bit more expensive but if it's going to look crap after i've bodged it, then don't really want to make my car look bad, as it could damage the resale value..

spraying is easier than you think.
if you get the primmed ones then nothing to do bar spray colour on it then lacquer.
did mine with aerosols. got the paint from a motor shop . as stealers wanted £20 plus vat for spray and lacquer..rip off.
honestly you cant go wrong..
just do lots of light strokes to get best coverage, let dry for at least 24 hrs then lacquer and again leave for 24hrs then attach to car. easy.

Thought i'd done that with me delocking cap, and it looked ok to start with till put it on the car then it's about 3 shades darker than the rest of the car....

Gonna have to redo it at some point methinks..
