Defender 90 Rear Bumper Respray

Sambora8080 · Jul 15, 2014

Hi,

Ive got a 2004 defender 90 td5 county.

Ive just removed some old rear bumperettes and ive got patches where the paint colour has faded where they were installed.

I want to respray my whole rear bumper to tart it up and make it last longer than the normal rusting ones.

Not going to go to the extent of removing it just want to spray it whilst its on my truck with all the tow bar connected etc.

Its in excellent condition so all it will need is cleaning down its rust free already.

Does anyone know the exact landrover paint colour for the rear bumper and has anyone got any suggestions?

thanks guys

You mean rear cross member?

It's just painted black. Easiest is just stone chip it, it'll protect it a lot better. Or if you want a nice shiny finish spray it black with normal paint.

Yeah rear cross member and yeah is like a nice shiny finish. Any suggestions on paint? Want the colour to be the same just look new

Use rustoleum on mine, just brushed on

Have you got a picture of yours? Does it give a nice smooth finish

From the factory I think they are matt, not shiny

+1 Not used it on the crossmember, But used it on every thing else I can.

Yes it gives a nice smooth finish and very hard wearing.
I've used it for everything on my rebuild and pleased with the results.

Sorry, travelling for two days so not on me

Yes it leaves a smooth finish and no brush marks - the rustoleum flows really well

Think I used Satin Black on mine

Have a look at aaron's rebuild thread - quite a few pictures of various components he's painted

Would you go for the brush on rustoleum or a spray can?

How does it compare to black hammerite

The brush on rustoleum is good stuff and you can't see the brush marks.
Spray can means masking up. Which is more time for no better result.
Personally I don't rate hammerite.

When it comes to painting where the crossmember bolts through the Ali rear panels, brush every time
