Last week I picked up a International bumper. Yesterday I sanded it and put the first coat of paint on it. Today I finished painting the bumper and switch the front bumpers. :D It looks soooo much better.

 

Here is a pic of the new bumper after I sanded it.

Here's the cutlass w/o the bumper.

I also noticed that the bumpers are a different style. weird

 

Anyway Here's the before and after

Before:

much better.....you painted with a sprayer?

No. I used some Duplicolor spray cans. I think I did pretty well for spray paint.

I'm not hot on spray cans but if I had to pick one, it WOULD be duplicolor hands down. The few times I use it, always get good results and a perfect match.

Yeah, the paint turned out pretty good.

 

Here's a better pic that I took today. Dirty already...

I liked the style of the first one better, but the "new" one obviously looks better due to the paint....

It doesn't look like it shines much, but it does look much better.

 

 

I'm with Shawn on this one.

If the oldbumper wasn't missing all the paint I would have kept it, even though it was missing a chunk of it.

 

The paint on the bumper isn't as shiny, but I didn't put a clear coat on it either, so maybe that's it. Maybe after a few coats of wax it will get better.

Looks good, Sean. I would definitely put 1 or 2 coats of clear coat on and then use Nu Finish. That should really help it shine better.

is it just me or does the old bumper look like it came off a sl cutlass? since it doesn't appear to have the vent things in it :?
