So i just picked up an OEM bumper and it was painted primer black. I got it home and got to looking at it and noticed that in a few places the black paint was chipping and under it was perfect factory paint the same as my car! I tried using a pressure washer with hopes that that would continue flaking off the paint but not alot of payoff for alot of time invested. I can pick it off with my fingernail but i will be there till I die. So i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to go about removing the primer layer of paint to expose the factory paint beneath it, or am i just screwed and just need to get it repainted? Not sure if someone knew of a mAd Tyte JD-eM method yO!

 

sand the hell out of it with some light sandpaper.

 

sand it all the way to the plastic then repaint it .

 

you can also get these like scuff things at napa. they come in red and green. they are used to scuff up bumpers and ---- to paint. Forgot about those. use a light one first...one is more course than the other. Its been a long time since I have used one...

 

use medium grit sandpaper and scuff it up w/o going all the way through(if thats possible) then hit it with some 320 grit until u get the color. then wetsand up to 2000 grit, then reclear with some really expensive rattlebomb clearcoat.

 

airplane stripper ftw

 

get brand name seriously good quality paint thinner. rattlecan will come off with maybe some clear from the old paint if youre sloppy with it
