Default Repainting the bumpers

The front and rear bumpers look like crap. I think the po bumped everything he could find. I don't have the money to take it to a shop right now, but they look terrible. What is the best way to strip the bumpers and I might check into the Duplicolor and rattle can them for now. Thanks

just wait till you have the money dude, the more you look at it the more youre going to want to fix it, which means you ARE going to end up saving, trust me im going through the same thing with my front bumper

^ I did it. Turned out fine. Spend a lot of time on the preparation and the results will show. It's a real pain though

When it comes to the bumpers we have, having the right chemicals is key, a clean dry place is also a very big thing.

I did my front and pretty much you get what you put in.... the more hours the better the outcome. The front bumper on my T/A is a bitch... i would imagine the camaro's would be slightly easier.
