#101529, "Spray Can Painting Bumpers?"


          

Okay so i had to get new oem bumpers all around.
(front, back and side skirts)

my question is:
Has anybody ever bought their stock color paint in a spray can and painted their bumpers? If so how did this turn out? Ive seen many threads about ppl painting their entire car with spray cans. Im not gonna go that far, but considering its only the bumpers i wonder how it would look? Then if it doesnt turn out good i can just take it to a proffesional and have them paint it. My stock color is miden silver pearl, code A52 i belive. This was just something i was thinking about to save some money. If anybody has done this before and has pics it would be appreciated.
thanks alot

If you go the spray can route take your time and prep the bumpers right and do thin thin coats and follow the instructions and use some good clear coat. but personally if I was in that situation IF I could afford it I would have it professionally done it will look better in the end.

I can guarantee you that the color wont match due to your car being a pearl.
