project Bumper UnFucker

So in june I was in a minor accident with two possible illegal immigrants. They spoke no english, and the only real words I could get out of them was "no police." Nuff said. Fuck em, my car did more damage to theirs than they did to mine anyways.

 

Here is my bumper right after. The paint took quite a beating and is chipped in some areas, but the trim is okay. The paint honostly doesn't look awful but some of the scratches are deep enough + the chipping means I have to sand it down and get it all painted.

So on to getting it fixed a few weeks later...

Last night I got started on the priming, out of boredom.

Today led to MORE SANDING, which of course led to more priming once again...and then sanding.

Enough fuckery, time to get started on the black.

While waiting for the paint to dry, I decided to clean up some of the trim thats removed from the bumper using my proven method of smearing the shit out of it with peanut butter.

Finished it up on sunday, it was night so I didn't take pictures. Decided to go out in the rain and get some real quick.

It looks really good from a distance but has no shine up close. I am going to wait a bit for the paint to harden up and then hit it with some polish and see if I can restore it a bit. I still need to work on the scratches left on the bottom bit of the trim, and on the trunk lid.
