Couple of problems with bodywork

Featured Replies

So, basicly I've got a 6n the metal (lower part) of my back bumper has a small dent in (was done when i bought the car) and a few light scratches in my front bumper.

And about 3 weeks ago some idiot banged into my front drivers side wing and that now has 3 little dents in. After looking through endless scrapyard and finding no panles the same colour or in a decent conditon i dont realy know what to do about this or the bumper issues.

Cpuld i fibreglass over them and get it resprayed or shall i just get new bumpers and a wing n get them sprayed or wait to find a white 6n with the parts in decent condititon

Cheers

bump

this my opinion only. as a sprayer who works in a body shop take it to a bodyt shop. if the dents arent that big they will repair them. dont fiberglass them it creates more trouble than its worth. and for the bottom rear bumper panel if its beyond repair they wont be that expensive to buy from a motor factors or body panel supplier etc. hope this helps

I might just hold on for a while buy new bumpers, (probly 16v, and maybe a new wing - havnt decided yet lol) and get my dad to spray them at work (and hopefuly at a discounted price too)

lower bumpers are not all that much, if you are a bit DIY then whip them of and try and pop the dents out yourself, worth a try as if it goes tits up your replacing it anyway

I'm just going to get some different bumpers, would it be hard to spray a wing. Would i need to sand all the colour n stuff of it before spraying it. I've heard of some stuff you can spray on and jsut primer, spray and laquer it. What do you think i should do?

no harder to spray a wing as opposed to anything, just prep it and clean it. then prime and paint then laquer
