I was kidding Jack

The whole deal problem is the area is so large its the whole front end lower cowl its big really its a lot of area to match properly.especially for a guy thats never used that stuff, I am going to have to get some and practice with it till I feel comfortable with the stuff before I attack that car.

If your painting the whole car why not 220 the thing level and forget it, gravel gaurd looks like shit anyhow.

I dry spray like a champ. that’s all it takes! haha. I wonder if it’s possible to have a ‘runny’ bumper. I can do that as well!

Often I shoot pieces flat and with a slight texture – I do almost all interior work and custom trim. just many thin coats of rattle can flat black gets what I want most of the time. I don’t like the spray texture very well because it’s usually too course a texture.

for a bumper – I’d say you don’t want it real course. just looking more like bare plastic bumper roughness, but consistent. try some flat rattle can as a test – just shoot something small and see what I mean. you can duplicate the idea with poly primer like suggested with several thin light coats dusted on, then a few coats of thin dusted single stage flat black. shouldn’t be that hard. lots of thin coats are what keep it consistent and easier to control. trying to hog on consistent texture all at once – that’s a killer
