Folks,

Im thinking about having the front bumper and skirts of my car touched up due to stone chips etc..

My question is, Is this a big turn off for potential buyers in the future if they know the bumpers have been sprayed?

I think the majority of people will think the car was involved in an accident or something, well thats my small minded view anyway! Some of you might say 'well I wouldn't say anything about it to a buyer' but I would always like to be honest and tell buyers the full story with a car I was selling.

What do you guys think? Should I respray or not...? The bumpers (basically anything plastic!) are turning very creamy

Take pictures of before & after, have the date & time stamp turned on for your camera & have a dated receipt from the spraypainter available with the photos to show any perspective buyer.

If someone offered me all of the above & I was happy with the finish of the work then I wouldn't question any further.

I did this before and took before and after photos of the work done.... This satisfied the buyer of the car at the time there was nothin dodgy or i wasnt tryin to hide anything. Also because I brought the issue up to him and didnt try to hide it he was alot happier...

where are you planning on getting the work done Paddy? I go do with getting my front bumper fixed up to.
 
Hi Dan,

Im still debating that TBH, I have a cheap quote from a guy in work who sprays the cabs and bonnets for us but is a qualified panel beater. But I think I wanna go with a professional to get it done right. Also I wanna take off the black plastic mud-splash guards and clean up under them.

Ill try and post up before/after pic's when I get it done, see what you's think.

Thanks again lads, good job!

I Got front and rear bumpers and bonnet and roof and boot lid and spoiler all done and a very good job and next year I will get the rest done lovely job cheers.
 
Where are you based-ive had work done at car perfect ennis in the past and you honestly couldnt tell if the cars were ever painted-outstanding finishers.
 
Yeah this guy is just outside Kilbeggan works alone most of the time but he will not and I repeat will not rush a job so make sure you have a spare car cheers.
