Paint/Touch-up my own bumper?? I was quoted $400 to repaint my front bumper here in Hawaii. (CRAZY)
It has a bunch of rock chips where no paint is left, just a black spot.. I also hit a little curbstop with the very point on the bottom of the bumper. cracked the paint a bit..
I was thinking...
-Wash Bumper
-Fill in chips with touch-up paint
-Use GM spray paint to cover the tip at the bottom
-Wet sand once the touch-up paint has dried
-Buff
-Wax
I know this doesn't come anywhere near having it painted, but it would make it look a helluva lot better..
What do you guys think?
