i just got my oem 99 bumpers, and i really dont want to fork over so much money to have them painted. so i was thinking of painting them myself and see how they come out. What would i have to buy in order to have a good looking paint job as in clear coat, paint and whatever else i need, and any suggestions on how to do it. How much would i end up spending and where would i buy good paint?

by the way, wouldnt it be cool if we had a custome 2GNT valve cover? and with the word TURBO on it for us turbo guys!

not really.
:wary

got time?
maybe weld on a crap load of aluminum and take a week off work and dremel out the word turbo.

got a life?

Hey glad you got the bumpers,

Did they get their in one piece? I hope so because the packers were scaring the sh*t outta me when they were forcing the bumpers in.

Anyhow, unless you have the appropriate tools and knowledge (how much hardener, and how to blend the colors) than I personally wouldn't do it myself. Than again, if you're a do-it-yourselfer than I'm sure it's not a problem. I just think it's a lot harder than it looks




Don't have the stock Eclipse anymore
Just a stock Gsr now, :)

yeah, they are in great condition..thnks again man, i've been wanting those forever! they weren't bent or anything.

no, it's not harder than it looks

i've done it to my old car, and in about a month i'm repainting the talon myself, clearcoat is the hard part, just make sure you keep the gun perpendicular to the surface you are painting
