dec.org.uk Donate to this charity and the UK government will match your donation. So you can get the government to send some of that fuel tax that you're currently having to pay to the Ukraine, hows that for Karma! DEC is made up from 15 humanitarian charities including the Red cross and save the children

Great work btw chap. Love the humor and that cheeky edit when you clipped the front bumper on was awesome haha
Excellent job 👍
I painted my sprinter bumpers 4 yrs ago with rustins gloss black and a 4” sponge roller. No sanding no masking and it still looks epic.
You've done a fantastic job of them bumpers. I always thought you couldn't do it. I ended up having mine replaced and resprayed. It cost over £1000. Good to see this is achievable with the black bumpers.
Absolutely amazing
Thanks for video! About to do the same with my van 🤙🏻
I’m enjoying your humour! Keep going... this is good 👍🏻
I enjoyed this!! Great humor, video and tips! Tnx! You have a new subber :D
Not bad, looks a bit rough where the white meets the standard black lower grille. Hopefully it doesn't flake. Good effort mind :)
Great work Karl!
Great work Karl, the bumpers look ace 🤙😀
russell currie thanks Russell yes I was rather pleased myself
Purchased my t6 2 years ago and paint cracked away from textured bumpers ! Didn’t realise it had been done on the cheap. Went to get it resprayed or wrapped most companies wouldn’t touch textured bumpers.
One company did - had it resprayed and now less than a year later it’s cracking and peeling again
the black commercial look is starting to get popular esp with a lift kit and off road style tyres
I think the nights get longer in November, but I get your point lol!
Nice job mate what grit sandpaper did you use bud
Great vid , what grid did you use on the Rotary sander ???
Отличная работа. А у нас чёрные бамперы называют практичными.)
was the top coat a colour and gloss in one or did you do a base coat and clear over it?
What grit sandpaper did you use at the start ?
I want to do this so bad but do not have the courage!
Quality
What grit did you use for sanding please?
Have you taken the van on a road trip yet? just wondered how all your fine work held up!
Yes been to Europe a few times, I also use it several times a year to stay out for work and it all works perfectly
How long did it take to sand it and paint it? I want to do this also on a 2011 caddy
Thanks Keith. Did you use a clear coat at the end on these? Thanks.
Any issues with it afterwards sticking or peeling? I want to paint all the texture plastic on my VW Atlas. But the bodyshop says it can't be done.
@@hectorruiz1291 I dunno I sold it 6 weeks later
What amount of white paint was used ?
Nice Job :) think i ´ll try this procedure instead of buying a complete upgrade set.. Could you tell me, which paper grades you used ? :)
I can't remember exactly but I think the finest was about 2000
Thx for the reply, i think getting rid of the texture is the key part, painting shouldn’t be the problem or did you experience any spalling of the paint yet ?
Hallo... Wirst du Nebelscheinwerfer tragen?
how long did it take to flat sand them completely?
A couple of hours
what, no one moaning about air fed masks and blar blar blar. what sort of youtube channel are you running here? crack on, it's looking great.
it won't be long I'm sure
