Hey, ive got a cobra bumper on the way, and im wondering if anyone here can tell me what all ill need to paint it. I have panters plastic, a big air compressor and a gun, i just need to know what all i need to get a good job on the bumper. How much of the paint, a quart?, Sealers, Clear Coat???? any help is appreciated guys

 

You'll need some adhesion promoter, a pint of sealer, a quart of paint with reducer, and a quart of clear with hardener and reducer.

 

so what, i spray on the adhesion promoter, then sealer, or vice versa then paint then clear?

 

Is it a new, unpainted bumper?

If so..you will need a grey scotchbrite pad and some paint prep/cleaner. You will scour the bumper down to remove any leftover mold release and/or oil.

Then, dry thoroughly. Apply one medium coat of adhesion promoter ( I use RM 864) followed up with 2-3 medium coats of your base.

Wait 10 minutes and apply your clear.

I would also recommend you add some SEM or equivalent Flex additive to the clear to allow the bumper to flex slightly.


If the bumper is already painted..you will only need to scotchbrite it, seal, rebase and clear.

Where are you located?

 

Also, what brand of paint are you looking at using?

HVLP or regular spraygun?

Booth, or just painting in your garage?

 

i have no idea, i was gonna get tricity paint to match mine and shoot it in my garage with a regular spray gun

i dunno if its painted or not, do you know how cervinis preps them?

 

If its Cervani's, it will be raw plastic.

I would pay a shop or someone who has extensive painting experience to do the bumper for you.

Plastic is a bitch to redo if the paint is not correctly applied.
