Sup guys!
I decide my bumper looked shocking as was, being so tatty and all.
Not much better now but a hell of a lot blacker that's for sure!!!

Getting ready to be sprayed, all masked off radiator grill and front bumper...

Half an hour and two to three coats or so later...

This stuff from wilco, like 8quid and the result forbthat much money and effort, well worth it I think! Im pretty sure its a matt but its called bumper black as its specifically for bumpers and requires no priming

lorri789 · Jun 27, 2013

Thanks

GREENHORN · Jul 1, 2013

Heres the back done the same...Did the wheel cover all black but I have some dark grey lettering to put over the letters I covered so should look quite cool when done...Wish this bloody weather would be more reliable I don't wanna start the body work cause that CANT get wet at all once Ive started until its dry...
Damn I need a workshop!!!

This is a before and after as you'll probably guess...

As you can see Ive done the wheel cover, the rear bumper and the handle casing where the LandRover badge is...Nice and tidy

Looking good fella

That colour Disco's looks shady easy. Lots of nice clean black bits and extra black bits will work
:bounce:

Don't reckon much to your dark grey lettering. Are you sure it ain't black?

Its touch dry in about 5 minutes...15mins on the can...Its acrylic based and takes 24 to 48 hours to fully harden but it stays flexible
