Wow, did they have troubles with the mk3 bumpers randomly falling off or something? Mine only has FIVE bolts roflcopter...

Good luck with your future screwing!

So this evening I had the pleasure of disassembling my front bumper ready to take it to the spray shop on Tuesday for shiny new paint.

My mate has a mustang which got hit a few nights ago and he told me something very interesting I didn't know...you apparently can't match metallic paint.

How is your bumper going to be matched if this is true? :S

Whilst I'm nowhere near sure, I think it depends on the metallicness and the way it's been painted.

Because this is an entire panel the whole panel will be resprayed. Also Deep Blue Pearl (DBP) has a specific paint code. Your mate may have some custom metallic paint which will be very difficult to match.

I know when Dad's old VT commodore had the bumper damaged in an accident it had a much more speckley metallic paint so to speak and they got that to match fine due it also being a specific Holden colour. It was bloody expensive that one though!

Also quozl on here pranged his rear bumper during a targa rally in his R and from memory you can't tell at all that a respray has been done.

I'm hoping everything will be alright (fingers crossed).

Cheers,

They can be very difficult.

This is one reason that whilst you could buy a Ford Falcon in a deep metallic black/purple colour, you couldn't buy an FPV vehicle in the same colour - FPV fitted and painted their own front/rear bumpers, and couldn't match the metallic from the Ford factory.

Also to help anyone out there searching for the the paint code for DBP, the codes are as follows:
The spray part: #LLS-0P6-B5R
Touch up stick part: #LST-0P2-B5R
