Best paint/kit to respray plastic bumper

Featured Replies

Hi all. Managed to reverse my SMAX into a pillar doh! It just dented the plastic section which I’ve managed to pop out and smooth. But the paint needs some love! Can anyone recommend the best source of paint for a respray? There seem to be plenty of sites where you enter your reg and are guaranteed a match - which sounds too good to be true 🤔 Thanks!

,,,,,and you know what they say "if it seems to good to be true, then it is"

The colour of the paint will have changed over the last 12 years, so even if you painted with the exact same paint it won't be an exact match.

Painting plastic is a real problem, you can often see brand new cars where the bumpers seem to be a different shade. It largely depends on how good a job you want as to whether a DIY paint job will be acceptable.

Thanks. Appreciate the reply. Perhaps better to get a specialist in then? Sounds like a lot of hassle and risk.
