Bumpers are scuffed and scraped on my 2001 P38.

They are grey plastic. Can you get touch up cant that shade of grey?

How much prep would I have to do to paint them black like rest of car as the plastic is not smooth like rest of body panels - anyone done this and do they look OK.

Cheers

yu can get plastic filler, primer and paint for bumpers.

Painted mine myself but have all the pro kit. Needs plastic prima for the paint to stick or will look like an east european skoda blinged with paint dropping off

"Plasti-cote" aerosol paints are designed for plastic; however, make sure you apply a plastic primer coat or the paint still won't adhere properly, then two coats of finish spray. Satin Black looks the dog's danglies!

Colour-coded = sprayed to match rest of the car

Satin Black = Original factory spec, but still Black


..............You decide :doh::doh::doh:

personally colour coded bumpers on the p38 only looked good to me on black cars....

no seriously though. see here.. gloss black bumper on a black car:

 

[rasheed]

any other colour and it risks looking like this..
