Default Finally Done!!

For all you guys who helped me out with ideas of how to get my bumpers painted well I have finally finished them after 2 months. Suprisingly I spent about $300 in all. I paid for the paint, bondo for dmamges on bumpers and about 5 cans of flexable primer. I will have to say the bumpers turned out better than a Maaco job and they were painted outside. If I would have taken it to the body shop it would have been about $300 a bumper to repair the damage and paint them. I will have the pictures up on car domain asap.

I'm sure the pictures coming soon will answer my question, but I'm curious now.
Did you use a paint gun for the primer, or just use the spray-paint style primer?
(I've got a similar repainting project on my hands, I think)

I did not use a spray gun to apply the primer i used a spray bomb and then you have to sand it well so it is as smooth as a baby'* ***. ( Find the flexable primer if you are doing the bumpers) Then just appy the paint. Now for me it took a long time but they turned out better than what any body shop could have done. I did all the body work myself and to give credit to my dad he painted them. And I do have to say he did an excellent job. If you guys would PM me with e-mail addresses it would work better because Car Domain is being a pain in the *** and won't let me add anymore pics.

The pictures are finally up and I hope you guys can see them well enough. The rest of the side skirts will be white without the black stripe.

When you guys look at the during photos where there was no bumpers I drove the car like that for 2 months.
