How do I smooth this? Lots of filler or is there a better way, what does it look like smoothed out?
RE: Bumper Progress - Slam Wagon - 25-06-2014
Ive been thinking about just smoothing the bottom groove, and leaving the top one. Not sure how good it would look. Ive heard of people using small flexi pipe etc to fill the groove then fibre and filler it.

I may just do the bottom one I think it will look pretty good, probably just use filler

Yeah i was thinking it would look good. The top line still keeps with the line of the bump strips on the doors. Im not keen in the fully smoothed look, so i thought just the bottom would look best. Try it, then if it looks good, do mine for me.

Re: Bumper Progress - kentiiboii - 25-06-2014
Problem with mine is I thought id get away with just filler primer. But I didnt, from a small distance it looks mint. :-) just when you get close and see the lines :-) but I wanted it look aged anywag to match the rest of the car.

Aww that's a shame but as you said at least it blends in with the car, I may as we'll get it done by my college. That way I know it's a professional finish and I can get it for cheap
Re: Bumper Progress - kentiiboii - 25-06-2014

It's a really good finish
did you clear coat it
Re: Bumper Progress - kentiiboii - 26-06-2014
Yeah it was clear coated, you cant really tell becuase of the sun, but if you look towards the end you can see reflections.

That looks awesome! I wouldn't of said that's been re sprayed, nice job
RE: Bumper Progress - Matt - 27-06-2014
Good job on the spraying, but you didn't match the colour
And it's quite dull, needs more lacquer and a buff up
