A lot of you have been getting paint work done lately and doing a lot of the prep work. Well, im thinking about trying to tackle the prep work to save cash. I talked to Paul about it briefly. My biggest thing is my front bumper. The guy who had the car before me must have went on a ton of road trips behind big trucks cause its beat to hell. Paint is like peeling off, but not literally. Just looks as so.
So with that, im guessing i would sand it all down...trying to get it as flat as possible. Then use the putty to fill in the holes, then use the high build primer to level it all out? Would i do basically the same thing with the dents on the rest of the car?
What about the details? What sand paper? What putty?
And the biggest question. ...how much do you guys have into your paint jobs? How much is the paint? How much was the actual painting? Im thinking about getting a new bumper with my current paint...but then i thought i could prep the car as is and maybe get the whole car painted. But im not sure on how much a paint job goes for, and not a $250 paint job from maaco.
