Default Repainted my bumper / grill / parking lights **PICTURES**

Long story short, I pulled into the garage a bit far.... Did all of the work myself.







Teaser.... More pictures to come when I put it on!

Did you repaint the entire thing? Im having a hard time understanding what part it is that you messed up in the first picture.

Yes I repainted the entire thing. The crack in the first pic is the bottom lip of the bumper. The second pic doesn't show the crack. I will get more/better pics once its on the car.

Well didn't really use any tools unless you consider a paint gun a tool. I use a DeVilbis CVi, its an older gun but works. As for the crack, more of a process, I "V"ed out the crack, use some 2 part plastic repair, sand, glaze the out side, sand, prime, sand, base, clear.

2 part goes on the back also. I cant think of the name, but ya know the netting tape you would use for seems of drywall? lay your 2 part down on the back side then put some of that down and push it in while its wet. gives you better strength. I would post a pic but I am on my phone.
