How much paint for rear bumper
So I got bumped from behind in my car a while back and was able to get a used rear bumber from a vender on this forum. The bumper had some minor scratches in it and so I thought I would order some paint and attempt to paint it myself.
Maybe like from http://www.paintscratch.com.
How much paint do you think it would take to cover the rear bumper, excluding the bottom black area? I was thinking of leaving that black as it is.
do you think the 12.5 oz spray can would be enough to cover it?
Just thought to ask you guys and gals to see what you think.
Oh yeah you will ask so I will tell, as you can see sunlight silver.

I don't mind trying things out and making mistakes and then learning from them.
It is called experience, the only way one can get it.
Like I posted above, it is a used bumper that I got for cheap.
I have an air compressor paint sprayer that I could use instead of a can, so I could buy the paint in a jar.
The question is how much paint do you think I need?

Spray Can! This is a very bad idea.. Please dont spray paint your car! You may not understand this but automotive paint is mixed with catalyzer (hardner) this makes the paint durable over time. Spray paint does not contain hardner or you would only be able to use the can once then it would turn hard. I also noticed that your car is silver. Silver is one of the most difficult colors to match with real paint, because of the metallic. I gurantee you that if you spray paint your bumper it will be way off in color, and break apart over time. GURANTEED!

they have the matched paint for your car and that is what would go in the can.

Have you used mixed to match car paint in spray can before?
Well, it is not very appropriate for a large parts like bumpers, but if you take your time and sand between coats it works.

But I still think you can use a spray can with a good result, but needs more time and sanding. And PPG in spray can is not "one time use" paint.
Peace.
BTW, let me try you.
Can you recommend a good aluminum-like paint? Like the ALSA Ghost Chrome but not so expensive?
