Hi,
I want to paint a used Mazda MX-5 Copper Red front bumper I bought to Stormy Blue Mica which is the original color of my car.
What are the steps to doing a good job. I have a paint shop at work and would like to try it myself.
Also if you can tell me what specific “Brand and Product #’s” to use it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
wipe the bumper down with a quality wax and grease remover, sand the bumper with 400 grit sandpaper, fix any imperfections, if there are any spots of bare plastic use an adhesion promoter, prime your spots or complete bumper(depending how many spots you have)add a flex aditive to your primer. Wait for the primer to flash as recommemded, sand with 400 grit, blow the bumper of with air, wipe with final wipe cleaner,wipe well with a tack rag and paint. Im not sure what products you have available to you so i cannot help with brand and products.
AS above but i would prime the whole bumper to keep you blue mica a uniform color,no need for flex additive in your primer ,no one really bothers any more
Thanks Guys,
Should I use a darker color primer like black or any color will do ?
A dark gray or black will be fine
