Anyone have any tips for touching up the BA bumper paintwork, or can point me to a guide / previous post about it?

I mean, any particular differences I should observe when prepping / spraying, bearing in mind it's onto plastic and not metal? It's the first time I'll have done this.

Cheers -

S

How bad is the damage you're repairing? The process for painting it is basically the same as on metalwork but if there's enough damage (I don't remember seeing anything extreme when you were up at mine), just swap the bumper with a better one :lol:

No significant damage, it's just touching up the paint. A few small scrapes. But as the car is silver and the plastic underneath seems to be black, it shows up pretty badly!

Thanks!
