Re: Euro bumpers - paint or not -opinions/experiences wanted

Hi

I have painted Euro bumpers as standard (UK) and they have been on there 10 
years now. I have found that the front needs respraying due to parking 
scuffles, stone chips etc about every 4 years. However with a proper plastic 
coat underneath and then a lacquer on top they are pretty tough.

The rear bumper never needed painting until someone nerfed me up the arse 
last year ;-)

IMHO - Colour coding the bumpers looks excellent if the bodykit is coloured 
as well except if its the all white Scalas we have over here which are too 
white
