painted front bumper sill, lacquer question??
now the front bumper is painted and looking better than my first attempt, the way i painted it was undercoat, flaten off, re under coat, flaten off again, the spray the sill to just above the top lip as it were, will use rubbing compound to blend in to the paintwork, now when i lacquer it, do i go beyound the painted area and the use rubbing compount to blend the lacquer in from there.

Hiya.Double bend the masking tape around the area to be sprayed.... That way you will not leave a "ridge" of lacquer. Make sure you let it "cure" before using anything to blend in. In the past i have used Auto Gleam Paint Renovator.... Not as abrasive..... Poppy |

Apologies for butting in on the thread, but a related question - from a paintwork numpty....
The top lip of my rear bumber, where it clips into the body, the quarter inch strip - has had the laquer partially peel off on one side. I think even I could manage to touch it in with a small brush, but what do buy and how should I then prepare it? Its the black silver sparkle colour (name?) Last time I did anything like this, there was no such thing as laquer.

Hiya. Instead of sticking the masking tape to the surface flat, jist stick half of it down and then loosely bend the other half over. This prevents a definite "paint line" that you would get if stuck flat. Yes, you can still blend in a ridge, but better if you can prevent it in the first place....Does that make any sense... LOL.
