Painting Front Bumper plastic Lip??????
My RX8 is going into the Body Shop today.. Once it is there I was thinking about having them paint the black plastic lip on the front bumper Silver to match my car...
I tried a search and could not find any pics or posts? Will the paint hold or will it start to chip shorty after? Thanks ExtensiveRX8 |
If they prep the lip properly, the paint should hold. I always thought about doing that myself. I don't think anyone has done it though.

Seen this done somewhere but can't find again, But it dose look good.
|
Someone has done it over here too, on the Titanium, looked good and he hasn't had any problems - just looked for the pics but they've been archived from the UK OC forum.

clean the lip (grease&wax remover), plastic prime it then apply paint/clear.
dont sand it if you want to keep the texture/pattern. make sure to plastic prime it, so the paint will stay (unless stone chips/hit) might do the rear one to match the whole look |
