*PUT ON THREE COATS OF CLEAR FOR THE BEST RESULTS!!* 👌
Excellent work man ! ...looks Great !!
Thorough Prep work is the key to a quality finish.
So true 👌
Best video I’ve seen. Clear concise and to the point.
Thank you for the kind words 👏

Spot on job and explaination sir! I really appreciate you getting straight to the point without lengthy intros and asking for likes and subscribes. I appreciate your style.
Its crazy to think that so many people liked the video thank you for watching and I appreciate you taking your time to drop a comment means a lot 😄
Thank you so much! Im trying to speed my way through fixing my car so i can enter it into a car show. Ive never painted a car part before so im super stressed but this was easy to follow!
if your going to enter into a car show your spray painting needs to be top notch if your colour matched paint is not exact I would do a blend into the other panels
@The_journeyy alright then that's great! Thank you so much for the tip!!
Nice work will be using it to paint my first bumper.
That's sounds good for best results use 3x coats of 2k clear coat as well and depending on how good your colour match is you might have to do a slight blend into the other panels
Great job mate👊 I've noticed having the trigger for the can as well is a good help👍
It sure can
Thank you for this video. I dont have a workshop, so my set up will be like yours... outside and propped upon lawn chairs.
Thanks for watching 😊
Great job 😊 well explained and a nice result 😊
Thank you
Lol he just bought a new bumber for the last part😂😂😂😂😂 otherwise good video

Nice video bro. Ur channel is so underrated.
Thank you bro I appreciate the support hope your well 🙏
Excellent video! Thank you for the details! Job well done
Did you use a 2k clear? Is that the secret? I don’t know of any parts store clear coat that you can sand and buff🤷🏻♂️ looks super nice for diy and I’m trying to do my front bumper
Yes 2k clear is a game changer for final results and also making sure you have a good colour match otherwise you'll have to blend a little into the other panels i.e fenders
Silver is very tricky to paint ,I must say job well done 👍 I've got 2 side skirts to paint and got a £300 quote !
That is so wild for side skirts £300 for a small job like that 🤯
Great job lil brotha 👍💪💪💪
Thank you bro 👏
thanks
Does that attachment on top come with the spray can?
No it's separate link for it is in the description
@The_journeyy cheers where are you based do you fancy doing a bumper for me £50 I'll get the stuff ??
Nice job mate 👍
Thank you for the kind words
That’s lit! Make more vids I will support I’m gonna attempt my own front bumper .. however I brought it new as it was already primed.. I believe .. would I need to prime it again ? Or can I go straight and paint and then clear spray after letting it sit for a few hrs to start
It's possible to just go ahead and skip the primer process on them but from personal experience the job doesn't come out as well as the suppliers use very cheap quality primer which one can affect how durable your paint is long term and two doesn't produce as good a job 😊
Nice job! I need to do my front bumper.
Go for it!
How is the bumper holding up now that it's been 2 years? No need to use adhesion promoter and wax and greaser remover?
and how many cans of primer, paint and clear coat did it take?
It's still holding up nicely and looks the same I don't believe adhesion promoter is a must if the surface is properly prepped however that being said it probably helps some use it some don't. All the quantities used will be in description it's been a while since I did this one can't remember all the numbers of the top of my head 👏
Great video, informative and very easy instructions, I have a question...is it necessary to sand and apply compound after clear coat?
Nope not necessary at all after your three coats are done the jobs done :)
@@The_journeyy thank you
Hey man, I painted my car's bumper and applied clear coat but now the paint looks Yellowish, now what to do? Please help!!
Wow that’s absolutely sensational. I have a small areas I want to fix on my silver bumper. Should I paint the whole bumper?
I would just paint the whole thing if your colour match isn't perfect you'll have to do a blend onto the other panels
How did you match the paint? And how much paint, clear and primer did you use?
Body shop and all products are in the description 😊
did just the 1 400ml can of paint cover the whole bumper?
Can't remember tbh this job was over a year quantities I used are in the description
How many cans of paint did you use? Great video short and precise

I can't remember if I'm honest mate this was a while ago I got the paint colour matched to my car at my local autobody shop
@@The_journeyy but did you use just 1 can of paint for the bumper?
Well done bro awesome results 👌🏼
Thank you bro I appreciate the kind feedback 🙏
Great job..
thanks
I’m at the 3 coat of paint stage… the paint without clear coat is very orange peel-y.
Should I wet sand before applying clear coat?
It shouldn't be orange peel-y have a look to see the causes of this on Google the most common is putting on coats which are too thick if you put clearcoat on that panel it will stand out massively I would resand the job to the start and put nice even coats of paint on let them dry appropriately and then put the clearcoats on
Very nice job bro
Thank you Daniel 👏

Hi mate can I ask you a question,,,,I recently sprayed a front bumper on the car,,,,car taped up well,,,, lightly sanded,primed,,3 base coat and 3 2k lacquer coats,,,,then unfortunately I had to remove from friends garage 4 hours later,,,I was very happy with results,,,,but next day I went to check my work and it was a cold morning and my bumper looked awful I may of well not sprayed it,,,,all blotchy whitish lines like condensation drip lines behind the lacquer,,, anyways I was very disappointed,,,,,so I walked away for a few days to take a breather and went back today and it's actually great looking again,,,has it cured now or will it keep condensating and going blotchy but at the moment it looks the way I first sprayed it,,,,am I missing something,, cheers john
The conditions you spray in are very important to how the paint cures and paint jobs are best not done in humid or cold conditions and this will affect the final results fingers crossed it was a hot garage. It sounds like the paint struggled to cure properly and dry but now it's all cured hopefully it holds out okay long term
@The_journeyy Thanks for reply, really appreciate it,,,
@johncoady9237 no worries thanks for reaching out
@@The_journeyy hi sorry to bother you again but it was great all week and now it has discoloured again obviously due to the weather,,,but I assume it will go back nice again,,,,is there something I need to remove and redone or will I just leave it,,,not sure if you had this problem before, cheers john
@johncoady9237 no bother what so ever, I had the same problem when I painted in a garage on a humid and colder evening my job after came out fine then went hazy and it's because paint doesn't cure properly in humid and colder environments the only solution I know of is to paint when the temperature is hotter and humidity isn't high in the air I no longer do jobs in winter outside
I have a plastic black primed bumper that I need to paint a bright red colour. Do you recommend I prime this white or leave as black and then paint to not end up with a different colour at the end?
If i prime white, what steps/sanding do I need to carry before/after to prepare it for the red spray paint.
Much appreciated
If your colour is bright red personally I would prime it white and then I would follow the same steps in this video 3x primer, light sand with 800 grit to smooth the primer a little then 3x paint coats and then 3x clearcoat because red is such a difficult colour like painting white for the best colour match you'll have to blend into the other panels then it will look uniform theres a few videos online showing this let me know if you want me to send a link for one hope that helps 😊
@@The_journeyy Thanks for the reply. Sure, do send over anything you recommend would be of benefit!
How many cans of clear coat. And how many cans of the paint? Also does it have to be primed even if it comes primed from the factory?
Have a look at the videos description all the quantities are listed in there the primer they use at the factory isn't great quality you can spray over it but I like to use my own products to guarantee good results
@@The_journeyyhow to fix runny/drippy paint?
Restart the whole process and prep the bumper. If your painting in humid areas or inappropriate conditions for painting your paint will run or if your putting on too thick of layers it will run these are the common causes to look out for and fix
@@The_journeyy restart the whole bumper even if it's just a small part that's runny? Or just remove the runny paint parts from the bumper by using lacquer thinner?
You could just redo the area that's not perfect and blend the lacquer in there's videos of that on RUclips
thanks for the vid. I'm a novice and need to prime a bumper, (red). what primer do you recommend and is that an attachment on the can? thanks in advance
There's a few right answers to this question it depends on how you want the red on the colour to look bright or darker red I'd have a look on Google and yes it is an attachment 😊
cheers@@The_journeyy
Wait so I can go ahead and buy this bumper from the pull a part. My car is grey and the bumper is gold just follow these steps right??
Hi Yazmyne essentially you could do just that if you get the colour of your paint colour matched and it's a really good match if not you'll have to blend it a little onto the other panels I didn't do this on mine as my colour matched almost perfectly 😊
Hello mate, why didn’t you use any plastic adhesion promoter ?
It's not a must it's a choice I've found from personal experience if a surface is properly prepped and the correct paints and primer are used for the material it makes no difference but if it works for you then I'm happy for you 😊
do you have a brand of oem colour spray paint cans you can recommend?
Not that I know of the colour matched paint I get I had mixed for me and put into cans at my local autobody shop 😊
Hello. Please tell me where I can buy a can of spray paint?
Local autobody shop
I know this is 8 months ago but thank you for sharing. Awesome job that you did. How long do you have to wait for a clear coat to dry before wet sand it, thank you.
No worries I'm glad it's of some use and the 2k clearcoat I use needs to be left for 48 hours before wet sanding and polishing hope that helps 😄
@@The_journeyy thank you
Great job can I ask what compound polish you used?
The polish is Meguiars ultimate compound and then I also used their polish links In the description if you need it
does it matter what colour the primer is ?
Itachi looking cool in your DP yes it does matter for darker colours use a light primer and for light colours use a darker primer 😊
@@The_journeyy hha thanks bro, im using a grey primer for a colour called astro black metalic for a mini, is it gonna be okay. The colour is quite dark
My guy, 1k sub soon come.
How have I only just seen this now no notification 😲 I've got loads of videos coming out this year just finished the face lift bumper so let's see, hope your well bro uni or sorted 👍
Excellent 👌 ❤
Many many thanks
I need to paint my front bumper, but it has had a low speed impact and the paint is crazed on the corner. I am wondering if I can sand and paint over this, or if the crack lines will always refelct through the fresh paint. Do you think this section need to be stripped back to bare plastic? Can you even strip one section, will paint fether edge on plastic or does the whole bumper need stripping?
If you put fresh paint on it yes the crack lines will show. If the damage is just minor you can sand the damaged area then I would put a little flexible body filler on the area the crack lines are and then sand the filler down until its nice and flush. Once the lines were covered and filled by the filler I would prep the bumper for paint and paint the whole bumper and blend it in with the other panels unless my colour match paint was spot on
@@The_journeyy Cheers. Its a pearl paint just to make things more difficult! Spray cans have got better and better over the years, the finish you achieved is incredible and much better than anyone elses with the same kind of tutorial on RUclips. It all seems relative to the amount of prep and polishing. Its given me confidence to have a go; I would not trust myself to be able to blend into other panels though!
I've heard pearl paints are more difficult the spray cans definitely are much better I've seen people doing jobs on high end cars using cans. It's all about the environment your spraying in that dictates the results can't wait to get a garage and do a few jobs in there 😊
What kind of paint cans and clear code did you use, along with what kind of clear coat and compound and polish did you? Where did you find the handles for for the cans

Good job 😊
Thank you 👏
Great vid, great finish, but please use a sanding block at minimum or you'll end up with uneven sanding and horrible scores!
Thanks for the feedback 😊
Looks like a great finish. Thinking of doing this on mine. How many cans did you use? Subscribed!
Thanks for the lovely feedback all items and quantities used are in the description 😊
If I go red to black on a bumper cover is it same process? To fix a minor crack what materiel should I use? Fiberglass resin? Does this plastic material use special paint?
It depends what you prefer there is a few different ways to fix cracks or holes I've used resin recently on plastic and it did an amazing job as well video is on here
if you're repainting the bumper then yes the process would be the same I just used paint items from the body shop I've got a list in the description hope that helps 🙂
Hey, just wndering as i bought a bumper primed black already and the final coolur is supposed to be white. You think the black primer would effect that ? And how many cans did you use for the primer and how many for the actual paint same with clear? Please bro need help
Hi there KoksuDriftu that's fine one thing I would say is the primer these bumpers come with when new is rubbish and will affect your final result when I get a new bumper I just go ahead and prime it again with a good quality primer and then the rest of the process. All the quantities for each item are in the description its been a while since I did this job hope that helps :D
@@The_journeyy thank you bro.
Like your video
Did it match your car paint ? If it don’t match how do you blend it ?
Mine did because I got mine colour matched silver can be a difficult colour so you'll most likely need to blend it in there's loads of good videos showing that on here RUclips
Hi, Which brand paint did you use? Thanks
its not a brand its colour matched for my car from local shop
@@The_journeyy thanks for the quick response bro
I’ve painted my rear bumper with the correct paint code. But it’s darker than my car what do I do
I have done this in the past on my first job and there is a few reasons that cause this. The first reason being using a very dark primer for a dark colour for example black primer on black paint rule of thumb is your supposed to use a light colour for a dark colour and vice versa, two your colour match you've had done is way off I personally wouldn't get my colour matched at Halfords only use local bodyshops that provides paints to auto body places when I had this experience I went to a local car paint shop for my paints and before you spray a panel I check the colour match on a paint card against the car if the colour match is good you won't need to blend if its not quite 100% you just do a slight blend into the other panels.
@@The_journeyy thank you I got my paint from a body shop but used a yellow filler primer so must be that
hiya i just did this through your steps and when i applied my paint to the bumper after priming the primer came out ans bubbles ovee my paint any reasons to why ?
There's multiple reasons that can cause that first I'd start with did you prep the bumper properly then I would look at the whether you used the correct paints for a plastic bumper where did you buy the paints from and did you use the correct sandpapers to prep the bumper
How many cans of paint u used ?
Been a while since I did this can't remember quantities in the description of the video hope that helps
@@The_journeyy just wondering if 1can of paint is enough, as in description is mentioned
The bumper on this particular polo isn't very big so for mine it was enough but this will vary on the size of your bumper you might require two
where can i find the gun you using with the can to paint the bumper please
you can find it on Amazon amzn.to/3A9oV9r
Great video! When the abrasion goes all the way down to the base plastic, do you recommend sanding it down and using adhesion promoter before spray paint? thx
Some people do use adhesion promoter but to be perfectly honest with you I have never used it I just make sure that the surface is well prepped. The jobs I've done have never had it and the results and the longevity of them is still standing the test of time. I think the most important thing is to use good paints and definitely 2k clear for durability but I'd say if you've got some promoter no harm in trying it :)
@@The_journeyy thanks! I’m fixing deep scratches, so I’m going to use the promoter and some filler. Then follow your steps. Awesome job from a spray can. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate the kind words and that sounds like you've got some rewarding repair work there nothing better than seeing the finished result and then putting it on the car 👏
Can I know the name of the silver paint can? Where you got it?
It's LA7W it's the colour code of my car had to matched for me from local autobody shop near me
What was the cost for all your materials?
I can't remember exactly as this was a long time ago I did this job but if I remember correctly something lkme £50 - £65 hope that helps
Yes, but now, how do you install it with out cracks and scratches???
If that is a worry then the job hasn't be done properly the job shouldn't crack or scratch easily and the bumper should be installed the normal way a bumper gets installed
Great video away to do this on my VW caddy. Was quoted £550 for spray on the front bumper. What primer is best to use and lacquer?
That is a lot of money just for a bumper resprayed I wouldn't know to be honest I've not used them all the primer I get is just the normal primer from my body shop the best lacquer I've used so far is the proxl 2k clear it's worth keeping in mind that certain colours unless you've got a perfect colour match you'll need to blend slightly into the other panels for example for the front bumper I'd blend slightly into the fenders 😊
@@The_journeyy see when sanding are you looking for a perfect sanded down smooth surface? I just sanded, primed the. Gave it a couple of gloss black but wasn't happy with it
@@bluestoneryan now u see why 550 is reasonable? ur paying for experience and work not for the paint. good luck
The RUclips app plays about and doesn't always show me all the comments made. There's no such thing as perfect what your looking for is a surface that's not rough and feels smooth to touch basically the sanded down primer is the base and reflective surface all the other coats then sit on to compliment the gloss if you skip this step you'll have a rough surface that the paint sits on that isn't able to help show the gloss your then laying on top of it and it will be dull and glossy
I made that same error when I first started painting and learned its all about following all the steps
Sand, primer, flatten primer lightly with 800 grit , apply paint coat and then the clear lastly.
I wouldn't pay £550 for a job like that I'd do it myself so have many others where he did go wrong like a few newbies do is he didn't follow the proper steps you take when you paint and didn't flatten the primer so his paint ended up looking dull which is an honest mistake anyone new can make and why I specifically highlighted what happens if you don't flatten the primer in the video but it's a learning curve and next time he will smash it and follow all the steps
hi, how is possible that your spray can did not leak?
Hi its because if the spray cans are used in the incorrect temperatures they won't work properly or they will leak easy enough problem to fix the environment we spray in is very important correct environment and temperature when spraying then problems like that go out the window hope that helps ☺️
@@The_journeyy thank you brother !
@socialmedianetwork5754 👏👏
How big of a difference is 1k clearcoat compared to 2k. I found some 1k in my uncles shed he said I can use but idk if I should just go buy the 2k instead
It's not as resistance to the elements and things hitting it and the shine is also not as good 2k clear is what the bodyshop use because of durability and result hope that helps 😀
@@The_journeyy Thanks ima go get some 2k then
You probably figured out the answer to this already but the 2k has hardener in it that "dries" the clearcoat fully. The 1k remains soft
@mikeymike2552 and that makes all the difference on the final finish and durability 1k is the worst thing I've ever used
@@The_journeyy ill never use 1k clear ever again. If its an entire panel, wheel, little piece of trim, im always using 2k. The extra few bucks is worth it
How many cans did u use
Have a look at the description all the quantities are there 🙂
Great video, really helpful. How long do you wait between coats of base coat?
30 mins between coats once complete one hour and then out on the clearcoat
Thanks for the reply mate that's great. I've subscribed to the channel 👍
No worries bro thanks for watching the video 👌
What material is the bumper made of?
Some form of plastic 😊
How many cans would you recommend getting just to do that???
Depends on the size of your bumper if your looking to see how many cans it takes for the VW polo bumper quantities are in the description
Hows your bumper holding up a few months later?
No different than before mate it's still perfect 👌
@@The_journeyy niceeeeee
I did this with silver paint and the color coat came out streaky. I even sprayed in the opposite direction but the streaks did not go away.
It sounds like you didn't overlap your passes properly there is a technique here is a video explaining what causes that and how to prevent it:

@@The_journeyy thank you so much
How much money did you spend on this overall? Is it worth the price savings vs getting it done professionally?
You’re looking at around £150-£200 per panel.
Sorry about the slow reply thought I'd responded to this comment spent about £65 quid the most expensive thing is the 2k clear the colour matched paint and primer were cheap
Not even close but good guess 🤣
@@The_journeyy I meant to get it done professionally (I should have been more clear).
Oh yes to get it done professionally it will cost you £150-200 per panel for sure 👏

Nice the car is going to be looking mint 👏
Idk bout u but 1500 just takes the clear coat right off bro
You gotta make sure your not using a regular cheap clearcoat you got to use a good clearcoat like the bodyshops the 2k clearcoat with an activator like I used in the video and you need to put a good three coats I only put two in mine but the coverage was really good and the clearcoat I use is a high quality product hope that helps 😄
