And…. if you didn’t lightly sand or scuff in between the base and clear
coats, why not? thanks again.

Bart Simpson says:

Did you lightly sand/scuff in between the base and clear coats? Please let
me know. Also, thanks for making these informative videos, they really help
a poor fella save some money AND learn something new!

yanwei huang says:

i just order a bumper that comes primed as well. would it be better to wet

Evgeny Manuylov says:

Awesome video, great quality and very clear!

I recently hit a snow bank and cracked my front bumper, and am thinking of
doing this myself following the steps in this video. It’s a 2007 Lexus
ES350. From rock auto world, should I buy the CAPA certified bumper or a
reconditioned piece; the price difference is huge between the two ($65
compared to $250). Do you think 2 cans would be enough, or should i go for
3? and don’t you usually do 2-3 coats of base then 2-3 coats of clear coat?
Is this what you did in your video?

Thanks! Have a great day!

John B says:

Mia Eslava says:

Hi thanks for this helpful video. How long you should wait to install after

different?

Vanessa Archangel says:

I’m going to paint my 2000 Camry rear bumper. Can you recommend how many

Thanks for all your help just one last question how long to wait before
buffing.

many cans and clear coats would I need and how many coatings of paint
should I give it?? 

Miles Comparetto says:

I did a spot repair on a crack on my rear bumper cover. I wet sanded the
whole thing but looks like i burned through the clear on a few spots. What
should i do? Can i just spray a few coats of clear over it? Thanks love
your videos. 

Juan Perez says:

Did the paint or clear coat you used have flex in it?

Stefan Leggin says:

Love your straight forward approach. I followed your instructions with
great results. I only wish I’d spent more time sanding to give it that
nice, smooth, factory-paint-job-look. Thanks for the the video!

tony t. says:

drew46835 says:

Can I blend this paint on a door?

Arthur White says:

So I have a bumper on a 2004 Caddy DTS that I left with my two sons 20 and
23 to witness the bumper with multiple cracks in the paint and striations.
Looks like it was also scraped under a concrete barrier or it was attacks
by a Bengal tiger.

The beauty is that the bumper is in tack, just the paint is missing in
multiple places. I live in the city and the effective way people tend to
parallel park is to hit your car. This does look like a great project I’d
like to take on but I want to know how much of the product should I
purchase?

2008 jeep liberty sprot front bumper? tux Black?

MrThe302crew says:

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse white where can I get the same exact white
paint code from a spray can?

juan reyes says:

hey man you make look easy..

Robert Cotton says:

I have a odd question about the 6 hour wait time before installing the
bumper cover. Is there any reason that you could not install a new bumper
cover after a couple hours after the clear coat if the vehicle is not going
to be driven for 8 hours after the installation?

Sonny Heer says:

Hey ScratchWizard,

I’m planning to do a similar job next week when my primered front bumper
arrives. It is for a Silver 2003 ML350 (I believe the code is 744). How
many cans do I need of each? And what are your thoughts on re-priming? I
really don’t want this stuff to start cracking after a few days…
Thoughts?

cans of each cut it ? 

Amir Sufian says:

Would this be possible to do on a VW Golf mk5 on the lower rear bumper, as
