Plasti dip and removing bumpers

[huntr_micra_sport]

I wanna spray my front and back bumpers black, thinking plasti dip could be a good option, anyone used this stuff before? Is it any good/easy to use? Or am I better going for regular spray

Also is it easy to remove the bumpers? Couple of bolts holding them on each side?

Thanks

Regular spray would last longer, i think plasti dip lasts a year or two though so up to you really.. if its a permanent thing i would just paint them tbh. Removing the bumpers is just a case of bolts really yeah, i may be wrong but i found it easier to remove the headlights for the front one and i think the rear has bolts near the spare tire? but don't quote me on that i have not removed the rear.

I have painted my motor bike with it in camo green.
I really rate the stuff but it does take more cans than you would expect to cover an area. Quite expensive too

Halfrauds are £7 odd a can so yeah it can add up when buying primer, colour and lacquer. Especially multiple cans as said

Think I'm gonna go for the plastic dip, no sanding required and if I go for paint I will need primer and laquer too

Can get 3 tins of it for about 30 quid

Good call.
My advice would be to make sure all of the surfaces are grease free and that's it's a nice warm day.
The paint comes out thick and gloopy if it's cold

Yea I read you should put the can in hot water for a bit first

Reckon 3 cans is enough for both bumpers?

Yeah that's a good tip
It might be tight with 3 cans but depends on how many coats you need to do.
I used 2.5 cans and 4 coats on this
