Should I paint over a bad tear in my bumper, or order a new one and have the mechanics install it then have them paint it?
I recently bought a used 1997 Honda Prelude. It's red and badly sun faded and has a bad tear on the rear bumper. I was wondering whether I should just have it painted over or order a whole new bumper and have the people at the shop install it and paint it for me. Any suggestions?
Sure paint it and be known as the tear bumper a sshole
You wouldn't need a whole new bumper; just the bumper cover.
But a new bumper paint job on a car that's otherwise badly sun-faded will stand out like a sore thumb. There's no way to get it to match.
The car is 20 years old. It's never going to look new again.
Consider doing something contrasty: paint BOTH bumpers flat black. (Not glossy.) Hey, it's an idea…
Take it to a local body/paint shop and have them give you an estimate. They may be able to repair the bumper tear cheaper than replacing it.
- If one or two ISP's ban a site and raise prices, can a new one rise up and compete? Why? Why not? What about Honda/Toyota? Or ' MCI & Sprint muscling AT&T aside? Anyone remember Nucor Steel? Each of those took advantage of very different situations, each with seemingly impossible odds. Thing is, they were all LEGALLY allowed to compete. How about here?
- How much is it to remove old carpet in my car and install a new one? I have a 1993 honda and I want to know how much it will cost to have someone to remove and install the carpet
- Is bumper to bumper warranty on a 2012 car worth it? For $2000? I don't think a 2012 Honda Civic LX would have any problems right? I'm only gonna keep it for one year probably… Let me know thanks!
- How much would it cost to paint a fender, hood, and a bumper for a honda civic 97 coupe dx? I was just wondering, i don't know where to take it either so any suggestions would help too. Thanks! I was looking for a red color, kind of like cardinal red. (If it matters) i'm also from the phx area in AZ in case anyone knows someone who does a good job for cheap
