The stripping continues.

And primer time

They don't even look like the same parts when they're all one color.

Did you use a sealer on the raw urethane bumper or primer ?
Not questioning your process just curious how the pros do it.

I sprayed a new bumper cover on my daughters car that was in primer from mfg.
and ended up using a Tamco sealer product before paint.
Sprayed it about 5 yrs. ago and it's still looks great.

The black is a sealer type material. Its meant to adhere to raw metal, fiberglass or urethane and its also flexible to good for bumpers. Next will be regular 2k primer

I'm working on my fiberglass hood and think that's the same stuff that's on it. Thought it was black paint but it's probably the same stuff.

That bumper looks good so far.

Thanks. Had a ton of time stripping all those layers of old paint and primer off

Thanks to @SorsCode for picking this latest piece up for me and shipping it.
Pace car hood scoop. And its a rough one. But I’m just going do what I do. Counted 14 layers of materials. 6 cracks that I’ll repair properly after strip

Wow that thing had more colors on it than the " Partridge Family " van... I know I'm dating myself.
I'm sure you'll work your magic on it and have it looking perfect.

What will you fill / repair the cracks with ?
I'm guessing some type of flexible filler ?

Its fiberglass so I will repair with fiberglass. It will be 100% as new glass piece when Im done. My old boat building experience comes in handy when working with fiberglass

Holy Crap! I knew it had a couple layers but not that many. That is crazy. Looking forward to see what you do with this.

I see my bumper and side skirts!

It was a school bus

So true...... wish he was still here to change the channel for!!

 

[General karthief]

All right!
Back to car crap.
About that bumper cover, is it done yet??

My job was to go outside to roll the big antenna attached to the house from North to South so we could pick up 1 of the 3 channels available.

And it was 5 miles, uphill in snow each day.

Little love for the ole T-Top coupe
Fitted and primed
