Thanks to SWMBO i now have a nasty scratch on my old Toyota Corolla
bumper, right down to the freshly 'grooved' black plastic underneath.
As a complete beginner i typed in: 'paint car UK' in YouTube, and get
over a million results.
As a beginner, i will have to follow instructions slavishly, so really
need to find the right site, from somebody who really knows what they
are doing.
Would anyone 'in-the-know' be able to recommend a particular YouTube
site, showing spraying for a beginner please?
Thanks.
There must be hundreds, but if it is a bumper, easiest would be to
remove it, sand down old paint, and use som form of plastic putty to
fill in the scratch and then spray primer/undercaota/top coat on itr or
take it at that point to a spray painter who will do it for a few
tenners.

Must be many many years since you paid for spraying.



Depends on the quality you want.

It was only this year that I sent the old pug bus (a red 307) down to
the local garage for a paint job after the fence post attacked it whilst
she was reversing into the drive.

£60 for the repair.

It's a £600 car and so I really do not care. An insurance co would have
written it off.
