Front/Rear Bumper Paint

[Beastolizer]

I was looking at my front and rear bumpers and noticed the paint was fading or becoming almost bumpy and discolored. Sooo, I figured why not detach the bumpers and find a nice Brillaintrot red paint and touch up those bumpers. I guess my question is, has anyone ever done this before or something similar and if so, do you have any tips for me?

As for finding Brilliantrot red, anyone have a source?

Thanks!:pimp:

Looks like a great site, but how can I determine if that bright red color matchs my brilliantrot red?

did you enter your car into the site?

they are color matched with the original paint code

[Beastolizer]

Yeah I entered my car into the site. Still not sure how to check if that is the exact same red color as my cars exterior. If you read a little more on the site, it says sometimes the colors are the same exact color as your car is. I'm just a little hesitant to buy the paint without being sure.

They use the same paint code for your paint that you provide them - it's on the sticker under your hood. Just give them the proper information.

It'll be close enough.

local paint shop guy always says you can bottle fade, so yeah it might be a little different if your car has ever been outside. red does tend to fade a bit more.
