One of the best videos I have seen. You get to the point and generally stay on the point and actually teach. Not like others that have the gift of gab and go on and on until you are tired and at the end just want to sell their product. Good editing. Good links. Thank you!
So I just gave my front bumper a repaint, following this video, and I probably watched it 50 times. I made a couple mistakes I think people should know to avoid, so they can save the headaches I have to go through. Make sure your paint is matched properly. I bought mine from Touch Up Express to match the color code on my Subaru, and they wound up selling me dark grey metallic instead of diamond grey metallic, with a wrong label. It was subtle enough to just think it was lighting, until I put it on the car and realized it's way too dark. Clean the gun right away with lacquer thinner. I bought some garbage paint gun cleaner instead that was milky white, and let the wet air gun parts sit in it overnight while the garage aired out. The primer wound up drying and hardening while submerged, which I then had to clean with lacquer thinner, which took forever. I must have made another mistake with spraying. After 24 hours of the clear coat drying, I am still able to scrape the clear and base coat clean off with my thumbnail, and it has a gummy consistency. I painted at about 70 degrees F in low humidity with a dryer on my air line (not the gun, since it needs to stay upright), and followed the drying times between coats. The only thing I can think of was putting the coats on too wet, which didn't have enough time to dry- 2 coats of base coat and it looked fully painted, but I did 4 coats total. I waited 22 hours between base and clear coat. I will probably adjust my air gun next time to put down much lighter coats. I also fixed a crack in the bottom lip of my bumper with some body filler that wound up cracking again after I painted, so even if the paint was the right color and went on properly, I'd still be dealing with potentially peeling paint. I am buying a new bumper and am going to give it another shot with paint from Touch Up Direct (not express), and will try to fix some of the mistakes I made.
I knew an old body guy who passed away recently. He used the same HF paint gun you got. I’ll say I was very impressed w the results he got w that cheapo gun. I watched him spray many cars w it and never a problem.
By far the best video to learn how to paint my bumper . Thank u bro for being descriptive and not laying all these little unnecessary details . I actually watched the full video and took mental notes thank u bro . This is truly informative
There are a lot of bad videos on here with bad information. This v ideo is not one of those. You nailed ever single step in my opinion. It's nice to see "how to" videos from people who know what they are doing. I'll be subscribing to your channel. Keep it up!
I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it can be hard to tell good info from the dross. It's also hard as a creator to make yourself known as someone who actually knows some real stuff.
@@sascandave I'm working on a plastic bumper on my Lexus IS300 what grits do you recommend? and is the tack cloth needed? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The Adhesion Promoter bulldog that you are using is also a sealer. 2-3 coats will fill 320 sanding scratches. If you just want to seal the panel or blend the spray areas you can use it.
I have some OEM RAM 1500 Plastic Fender Flares sitting in my garage (for about a year) , and an RT Hood on it’s way to me This video makes me feel like I can paint them and do a good job this time.
This is the best how to video I have watched yet. Explained everything for a newby like me just perfectly. I appreciate the in depth explanation. Well done Sir. Maybe you can do a how to video on proper techniques for wet sanding.
I really enjoy your videos, I don't care what you do, you do it right. I won't say keep up the good work because you couldn't do a bad job if you tried. That's why I subscribed a long time ago.
I would like to add that there is molding release agents inside the plastic. It is very important to use something to release the agents while scotchbroting the panel. You can do this on the cheaper end with plain old powdered comet bleach. Wet your raw plastic bumper and scotch brite. Apply some comet bleach to your scotch rote and go over the entire bumper in circular motions . Then just rinse it off and dry by blowing the bumper down with compressed air. Remember plastic gets static when wiped or rubbed so dust will want to stick to the bumper. Immediately clean with a rag damp with anti static plastic cleaner or wax and grease remover . Apply your adhesion promoter and wait for it to dry. Next prime the bumper or you can just use sealer and base right over the sealer and clear over that . Really just depends on your resources and time
does this apply to abs plastic bumpers too that i have on my 09 acadia ? i want to paint it glossy it came on my car from factory no paint just black plastic
Excellent, excellent video. Extremely helpful and thorough. This took me from exactly what you saw at the beginning of the video to a nice metallic Toreador red finish. One suggestion, it would have been nice for a small break down of what the different kind of plastics like TPO, PP, etcetera stand for, and why that's important as far as what type of products do you use
I always thought I should use epoxy primer on PUR (poliurethane) plastic, while adhesion promoter to prime other types of plastic. Anyways, great video, as always!
Remember guys, do not half ass any of these steps in this video. I paint bumpers, panels and do touch ups as a career. Every step is crucial to getting a perfect finish, you need to look at the very fine details
Very good step by step video. I bought a PRIMED bumper. After scuffing cleaning it do you then use the adhesion promoter for the sealer or just for the for the base coat or both?
Hey Ratchets and Wrenches! Quick questions: 1) Where did you get your base paint, do you have a link? 2) Do you have to paint the "inside" portion of the bumper? Comments? 3) how much of each ingredient would you say you used to complete this job (it appears you only did the outside portion, and from the video you only filled the gun once, which yielded ~3 applications?) I need to paint 2 bumper covers potentially the inside portion as well, so I want to make sure I have enough materials to complete the job. I tried to make this simple so you could simply add the answer beside the listings. (eg. 1 qt, 0.5 gallon etc). How much of each of these will I need to fully complete 1 bumper (inside and outside) via your instructions in this video? a) bulldog adhesion promoter: b) epoxy primer: c) epoxy hardener: d) urethane reducer: e) sealer: f) base coat : g) clear coat: h) clear coat activator: Thanks!
Very very helpful video and easy to follow. I am just wondering if one would really need to paint the inside of the bumper though? Is it because it just feels like the project is more complete? I don’t mean to be picky, just not sure why.
The surfacer and hardener you use and link to calls out a 4:1 surfacer to hardener ratio on the spec sheet, not 2:1! Not sure if the formula has changed since this video was made, but it makes sense that they sell 1 quart to a half pint of hardener in their kit, which is a 4:1 ratio. Looks like you have a quart to half quart kit in this video. I am repainting my bumper with the proper color this time, and will be mixing 4:1 for the primer and 4:1:1 for the sealer as the spec sheet calls out. My paint also says to not use reducer. Just another heads up for people to read the spec sheets of their materials to be sure they're doing it right.
It all depends on the speed of the hardener you use. Use something appropriate for the temp and there is no problem letting the gun sit between coats, but total you should not have things sit in there for longer than about 45 minutes, which is plenty of time to do the painting.
How do you paint a pumper that's already painted but chipped and has small dents and let's remember most people spray or brush on paint at home and don't have garage. Tips please.
Hi thanks for sharing, does this process ¿make te paint get flexible also? ¿are you able to bend the bumper without cracking the paint or the clear coat?
Great video. I need to fill deep scratches on my plastic bumper. At what part of the process should I do this? What type of filler should I use? Thanks.
Great video!! I have a question. I just primed my cars front bumper today (has not been sanded yet) but wondering if I can apply sealer to the bumper after sanding the primer on the bumper? Was considering 400 grit for sanding the primer. I assume the sealer will adhere properly with a 400 grit sanded substrate?
Thanks for another great DIY instructional video bro! Always make me laugh with your humor, (elbow grease) I'll be checking your links for materials I might need as I am only in my beginning stages of my DIY.
Paint society have a video using this specific gun its a 16 dollar harbour freight gun he says at the end of the video he had to use 35psi and made a few adjustments to the gun.
I don't have that much money to buy your recommended air compressor, what do you recommend to be the lowest pounds and psi that I can get by using so I can buy something a little more affordable maybe in the 100 to 200 range
Pop out those popouts, so that you makes sure you paint the entire radius of tyge edge, both the space it goes in, and the pop out itself. You left it in, so it will look a little off, and provide a starting point for adhesion failure.
It's virtually impossible to paint over chrome because it's so hard and smooth and inert chemically. If it's small plastic parts like grilles you can remove the chrome so you can respray with paint: th-cam.com/video/CDF3A3xUYeY/w-d-xo.html
I have a question. I'll soon be painted a wing for my car which is raw abs plastic but I planned on using aerosol cans for the entire thing. Is there a primer that you would recommend for abs plastic?
My damaged bumper cover is black. I bought a used silver color bumper cover. Can I spray primer over the silver paint then black after that? Thank you.
So let’s say I bought a bumper and it came black primed. And the vehicle I bought it for is black. Could I just spray a layer or 2 of clear coat on it to shine it as a temporary colour? Instead of paying for the paint matched one?
Use dawn dish soap with some comet and a 3m grey pad. They make a flex agent for the plastic bumpers cause you're not getting a factory spray from the gun
What if I want to paint a used, painted plastic bumper? I have a used plastic bumper that is light blue and I want to paint (repaint) it a darker blue to match the rest of the car. What different steps do I need to take? Thanks in advance for your help.
Great video. I was thinking about painting my bumper cover, but when I priced all thed things in the list it was over $300...which is what my local shop quoted me. If you have all thisx stuff on hand, it makes sense to DIY. But since I don't, it doesn't. 😃
i enjoy each of your tutorial. thank you. one question i have is that i love that cheap spray gun you are using. my question is that do you clean the gun between each base coat or between each clear coats? that means every 5 to 10 minutes ? or you finish all the base coat then clean and then all the clear coats then clean ?
Very informative video, are you going to do a follow up with the wet sanding etc? I am trying to learn to paint but I would like to see an entire video from start to finish. I did see your other video about painting before.
He wasn't going to paint the inside, he was only showing what you would do if you were going to paint a bare plastic surface since that bumper cover came from the factory primered on the outside but bare on the inside... so you are correct Chicks, you never want to waste time and materials painting the inside, not necessary.

And here I clicked on your video thinking you were gonna spray paint from a can!
Very nice work man!
Would ben nice to see the final restored car look
Remember guys, do not half ass any of these steps in this video. I paint bumpers, panels and do touch ups as a career. Every step is crucial to getting a perfect finish, you need to look at the very fine details
would painting a metal fender that’s primed be any different from the steps he did in this video ? since he painted over plastic here ?
Thanks for your professional guidance.

Unless I missed it, I'm not seeing you add flex agents to your primer, base, or clear. Are they premixed into the products you are using?

IT IS the best Video on this process !
Did you use the same tip on your spray gun for the adhesion promoter, primer and paint.?
Great video. I have a new grill that I will need to paint before I install it. This video was very informative. Thank you for sharing.
heeey , quick question do i need to use the adhesion promoter before the epoxy ? i mean isint the epoxy is an adhesion promoter by it self ?
This was an awesome and informative video, thank you
How should you clean your gun between products. Also how long can the two part primer and clear coat sit in your gun?
Not long.. if your spray paint and than dumping clear in it. Spray it fast.
It all depends on the speed of the hardener you use. Use something appropriate for the temp and there is no problem letting the gun sit between coats, but total you should not have things sit in there for longer than about 45 minutes, which is plenty of time to do the painting.

>PP< stands for polypropylene
For those that are wondering
Hey, you do know there's 2 trigger positions on a spray gun, right?
I might recommend regular “Dawn Platinum” dish soap over car soap to make sure it doesn’t have any surfactants or waxes in it.
Shouldn't you add a flex agent to the epoxy primer?
Great video - thanks. BTW. This spray gun is available at Harbor Freight for $15. What do you recommend min specs for a compressor?
Nice vid bud.
Hi , question, for the sealer what number of tip do you use ? And what psi pressure? Thanks 🤘🏼
Paint society have a video using this specific gun its a 16 dollar harbour freight gun he says at the end of the video he had to use 35psi and made a few adjustments to the gun.

Can you scuff up a plastic rocker panel cover that’s already painted and then basecoat clearcoat it?
Maybe dumb question, but why do you have to paint the back side? Why is he sanding the back side?
because he was showing how to prep raw plastic. the front was already primed.
Pop out those popouts, so that you makes sure you paint the entire radius of tyge edge, both the space it goes in, and the pop out itself. You left it in, so it will look a little off, and provide a starting point for adhesion failure.
This would be fun as a drinking game.. every time he says "BUMPER COVER"... SHOT! 😂
Should you still prime it if the bumper comes primed already?
So I'm confused is your adhesive promoter in the primer paint?
Would be awesome if you can do a video on painting over chrome.
It's virtually impossible to paint over chrome because it's so hard and smooth and inert chemically. If it's small plastic parts like grilles you can remove the chrome so you can respray with paint: th-cam.com/video/CDF3A3xUYeY/w-d-xo.html

My damaged bumper cover is black. I bought a used silver color bumper cover. Can I spray primer over the silver paint then black after that? Thank you.
So let’s say I bought a bumper and it came black primed. And the vehicle I bought it for is black. Could I just spray a layer or 2 of clear coat on it to shine it as a temporary colour? Instead of paying for the paint matched one?

where is the materials list.? Which primers did you use and the brands?
is the tack cloth needed after using the fine sanding maneuver? thanks.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you dear.
is the clear coat supposed to be that yellow?
The front of the bumper ( which comes already primed from factory) , does it not require bulldog?
Hey man im using rattle cans, before hitting the bumper with clear coat should i wet sand with 2k grit?
Is adhesion promoter the same as plastic primer?
i enjoy each of your tutorial. thank you. one question i have is that i love that cheap spray gun you are using. my question is that do you clean the gun between each base coat or between each clear coats? that means every 5 to 10 minutes ? or you finish all the base coat then clean and then all the clear coats then clean ?
Thanks again for another great video!
What’s the brand of base coat and where’d you get it?
Never go away, bro, I love you..!!!!
What's the video link for the next steps (wet sand & buff)?
Very informative video, are you going to do a follow up with the wet sanding etc? I am trying to learn to paint but I would like to see an entire video from start to finish. I did see your other video about painting before.
Excellent video, thank you. Do you have a video of a Rhino type bumper coating?
Why r u painting the inside of that? Just curious, good video tho
Just to practice? Idk.
He wasn't going to paint the inside, he was only showing what you would do if you were going to paint a bare plastic surface since that bumper cover came from the factory primered on the outside but bare on the inside... so you are correct Chicks, you never want to waste time and materials painting the inside, not necessary.

In this case they are Pee Pee 😂
Is that the same hplv gun that harbor freights sales?
Could you use lacquer thinner for the reducer? Or rustolem specialty reducer? Don’t have the kustom in my area and a fortune to ship
what model harbour freight gun are you using? awesome results
gjmcustoms look in description of video, he links it to:
Central Pneumatic 47016, assume he is using a new gun.
When I cracked the bumper on my Prius the dealer wanted $1000 to replace it. The bumper is around $150 plus the paint. That's a lot of profit.
Go to a local body shop
Very nice but what grit did u wet sand the clear coat with??
Use 1500 grit 3m wet sanding paper. You can finish with 2000 grit if desired. Then machine compound to a gloss.
