Permanent Plastic Bumper Restoration With Duplicolor Bumper Paint Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2019
- After trying every method and product from back to black, pure silicon tyre shine, linseed oil, ceramic coating to even the heat gun trick, none of which last in the Australian sun. I thought i would try something a friend recommended to finally fix the work vans bumpers.
Duplicolor bumper paint. This is a plastic specific paint designed to impregnate the surface and properly re-colour the bumper. It doesn't simply sit on top of the plastic like a normal paint, it's almost like a die. Because of the way it impregnates the plastic normal painting prep is not needed, and this is quite a quick process, much quicker than the heat gun trick anyway.

I used this on Charcoal color over 2 years ago and they still look like I painted them yesterday. Great product
THANKS CHAMPION, I'VE JUST DONE MY VW T5 & IT LOOKS AMAZING
Over 2 years on the bumper still looks really good. You can get this in the links below.

Thanks for update, my transit looks same as ur original bumper.
thanks for the update, just what i was looking for thanks :)
2019 and dubstep? you got it bro!
You have inspired me to finally do mine Sir. Looks great.
You can do it!
Can I get an update on how this is holding up?
Thanks I’m going to try this too.
Bro, use a scotch pad, then rubbing alcohol to clean. Use a etching primer and then the rustoleum trim paint. It’ll never fade, it’ll never come off it will stay looking fantastic for at least 15-20 years
Question; what grit sandpaper could I use instead of pad? Do you think I could clear coat it too?
@@MasterArmedforces
I’d just scuff it lightly with 1000 grit probably. Every bummer is different, the plastic could be smooth or a little grainy.
It would depend.
But if you can, use SEM TRIM BLACK it lays down better 4 light coats
Yeah you could clear coat it. I’d find a matte clear coat maybe but a regular 2k clear coat is fine
@@realitycheck3672 i bought septome plastic primer today, and this duplicolour trim and bumper paint. Using it for chrome window trim. has sanded down, alcohol rubbed, applied 4 layers of the primer and about to finish with the trim and bumper paint in the video. would it need clear coat? or not?
@@reactorrapfactor
Depends. If you want a matte finish, use a matte clear coat. If you want a little gloss use a regular clear coat.
The clear coat is meant to protect the paint from chipping, if you think the area painting could be exposed to rock chips or other road damage, clear coat it.
@@realitycheck3672 it probably will be being at the front, surely it will hold better with plastic primer first? before applying this trim and bumper spray?
Any rattle can I always feather coat for 3-4 passes yes it might take me 5 -7 passes total but it always get complements on how great and smooth it is with no drips or peel
Brilliant job. I'm going to have a go
2 years on and it still looks ok....
Interesting, I may try it soon.
That's a good product, I want to use the black version for my ARB Smart Bar that's faded on my Mitsubishi Pajero. Great job by the way 👍
Good job!!!
Do you have to clear coat it or no?
I just resprayed mine but I sanded it first and used two coats of primer. Then 3 coats black
doing it now , cheers m8 for the vid ;)
Great advice....thank you
Glad it was helpful!
No faffing about with undercoating, sealing with a varnish etc.. looks great. Going to buy some for my ABS black plastic side skirt trims. 3 years on how does it look now?
Its faded a bit and tbh a re coat would look better. But still amazing for what the can costs.
Very nice and hope it comes in some Nissan code 326 super white color.
The UV breaks down the oil in plastic. No need to paint. Use a heat gun to bring the oils back to the surface. Looks brand new and lasts longer than paint. Plenty of RUclips clips show how to do it.
I was about to do exactly what you're talking about, but upon further research I found that the heat gun method works great, however it in return makes the plastics very brittle and break easy
How you think it would go covering cracks?
No very good. It’s super thin compared to normal paint. It’s like it penetrates the surface of the plastic, you’d really need it to sit on top for hiding cracks.
2021!! How is it holding up? I bought 4 cans to do my trim on my vibe!!
It still looks good. Small amounts right in the fog light groves have peeled, but i think that was poor prep on my behalf. Super impressed with the actual coating.
@@ZeroTo60Tube
I have a lot of trim so here is hoping! Wish me luck and thanks for posting!
@@ZeroTo60Tube
I did my trim the other day. Started out very well and looked amazing.
For the harder and more shiny plastics you need an adhesion promoter. I lost a few flakes already just driving home today. Fully cured it still doesn’t adhere to the harder plastic.
I used 400, 800 then 2000 grit sandpaper and then washed and alcohol rubbed everything again before spraying (no adhesion promoter.)
Oh I have a friend who can make any decal I want,if it looks bad I'm going with tribal yellow and neon green
It is a black truck Nissan Pathfinder with a plastic bumper cover. Thanks for the tip,about whale seamen
Did he say, …”wheellleee ceeeeaMen”?
😂😂😂😂
Do you think it will work on interior plastic?Did,you try it on interior parts?
It would but it’s not a nice finish. You can get a similar product for interiors. I did a full colour change in a car 15 years ago. It’s called vinyl dye.
I did not see your video.
Had permanent bugs on bumper so I decided to paint it.
I grabbed my super paint for plastic cleaned it and nothing went right.
So about forty hours later I just put one of the last of three more coats of bear gloss spray paint,frankly I used primer coats of spray and fill bondo for plastic and the first coat tonight has flaws even after sanding what felt smooth.
So I'm gonna build up two more cans and stop.
If it looks bad I'm still done if it's beautiful I'm done I no longer care.
Does anyone know where I can get a bolder black than the one in the video
Can I use this on a bug guard located in front of my trunks hood??
Any porous plastic.
Would this spray blend or match well with an Audi Q7 matte black?
It's hard to say as even after 1 or 2 years in the sun the bare plastic does fade. You really need to commit to painting an entire piece.
Zero To 60 I’m getting my Audi Q7 completely done in matte black but they said they can’t put vinyl on the bumper so I’m looking for other options.
@@jennalyndonjagroop5809 Ahhh in that case, look in to plasti dip. It is a peelable coating that you can get in mat black and can also be removed later if you want to go back to original.
Zero To 60 perfect! Okay thank you.
Can you give a long term update please?
Update?
?
Exactly, this vid is Useless without it 👿
Hello? Update
These type of videos never have a follow up
Where did you buy the clear wrap to cover the car? What is it called?
Check the link in description for exact product
So it’s been a couple of months now. Still like it? Thanks!
Hi Zach, it still looks pretty much the same as it did the day we did the resto. Here is a link to our instagram with a photo i have just taken. bit.ly/2WQ4ZbP
Zero To 60 just ordered a can! Thanks so much!
Saw the insta...why you no do the back bumper as well?
Was this the black or grey color can?
We didn't actually have any colour options. It appears as a very dark grey almost black.
Can we get an update to see how it is holding up now ? Thanks a lot
I havent seen the van for about 6 months now. But at the 2 year mark it was still pretty good. If it wasn't a work van, i would probabaly do it again at the 2 year mark, but work van it still looks respectful.
Whale Siemen 😃
Who makes that plastic masking roll? cheers JB
Theres a few different brands. The link in the description is a decent quality and good price if you need some
Nice job man how long did it last
Hi Mark, To be honest its about due for a freshen up now, but we are kissing 3 years of QLD sun, never being washed. I am very very impressed with how its lasted.
Excellent man thanks for replying will go get some for the cruiser thanks
Did he say "Whale Semen"?!
Can you use this to black out white bumpers
Yes absolutely. Assuming they were bare plastic
Doesn't require plastic primer or adhesion promoter?
No, it doesn't, which is why we thought we'd give it a crack. It's not much more work than using the oils/coatings. You just need to make sure the plastic is clean and must have removed any of the previous treatments. This stuff didn't work like normal paint. It really soaked in to the surface, where a paint will traditionally sit on top. It's been a week since we did, the van has been outside in the sun the whole time and still looks fresh as if it was done 10 minutes ago. Pretty happy with it so far.
I used it today but put adhesion promotor on first. Hope it dont screw up
The can does say to use adhesion prompter but in this case as the bumper has soaked up the first coat it has probably sink its roots in pretty good 😊
landenx9jordan. I think I would put a primer on it to promote better adhesion. That’s what it says to do on my rustoleum trim and bumper paint. Prob get some primer for mine.
I just did mine and wished I had used an adhesion promoter.
Went on VERY smooth and looks amazing. Then I started to get flakes when it cured to full hardness.
With the new bumper your car looks like a Lamborghini wow😂😂😂but it’s still Ford
Would this be good to cover minor scratches on a RAV4 plastic bumper?
It won’t fill the scratch but it will make it all the same colour, so they will be much less noticable
is it still going well 6 ish months later?
It’s actually still really good. We did do an update on our Instagram a month or 2 a go and it’s still not faded yet.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thank you. Looks like i'm going to be using this for all my plastics that are faded
Can you use a clear coat with this method? Would it mess it up?
What was the cleaner that was used to clean all the oils off the bumper?
I wish I could import one of those little vans
Where are you based?
@@ZeroTo60Tube Florida, US
@@TheSoloAsylum Transit 150 are sold in the US but not sure on what CA will allow you to buy and how old they go back to
Where do you get that masking plastic??
Local parts store
@@ZeroTo60Tube auto parts?
Nice job mate! Question is : how long did it stay nice a shinny after that?
Cheers
Its actually still looking good today. However, a few small sections have chipped of one of the edges, which is probably down to poor prep on my behalf.
@@ZeroTo60Tube great then : if it survived 6 months it is stil' better than any wd40 fix 😅
Also, let's keep in mind that's it's truck That's supposed to to work everyday not a coupé cabriolet 😉
Thanks for your feedback
@@promethee89 instead of all of this products if u want a permanent solution use a heat gun 🔥 thats the only way to remove the fade white part and bring back the original dark plastic back
@@ZeroTo60Tube what do you recommend for prepping .. would vinegar and water work???
@@MrAresxy07 I heard the down side to that technique is that the plastic becomes brittle and breaks easily. Is that true?
would it have been better if you had used plastic primer first?
this is supposed to have the primer in it.
why does it looks a bit blue
How's it looking 11 months on ?
Still no fade. The van unfortunately doesnt get much love and hasnt been washed. But the bumper isnt showing any fade. Only issues a few bits have peeling the seem around the fog light holes. Im guessing its due to not properly cleaning in the groove.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Cheers 👍👍
Not bad..
How long did it last
About 2-3 years in qld sun. Vehicle stored outside.
I'm thinking of doing the "heat gun trick" first, then doing this over it. That way if it's scratched, it won't reveal the old faded gray, but the heat treated black. Regards, 2010 Transit Connect.
Is it need clear coat
no, it is an all-in-1 process, nice and easy
@@ZeroTo60Tube what if you use a clear coat
Update?
The van has been sitting outside since the video, probably been washed once or twice and the majority of the bumper still looks like the day it was painted. There are some small sections chipping away in the grooves of the spot light holes. wWere obviously i didnt prep properly.
No primer needed?
no
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks, just ordered two cans👍🏻
