winrya Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi, as per post. I'm looking to get the rear bumper painted as its something that annoys me about the car. I'm after pics of black cars preferably. Do you all think i should paint the complete rear bumper or just the middle section, leaving the lower section unpainted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Oli_H has a black GTI with coded rear bumper. I'm sure he's postd pics here too - possibly worth pm'ing him Looks good on black gti's IMO - probably best to leave the 'very bottom lip' black plastic rather than paint tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Definitely leave the 'very bottom lip' black plastic. What's a "bottom lip"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winrya Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks for the pics. Any signs of the paint flaking as i hear companies aren't too keen on spraying the plastic?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjm Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 perfect hey, and been 6 months already. It must just be prepped properly before spraying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
