haha,



Hey give some painting advice! What can I do to make it look more shiner as the rest of my paint.....
you can let the shop paint it that did the rest of your car,

they would probably only charge you $100-$150 to do that bumper

in white.



Maybe try some rattle can clear coat to get more shine.



your body shop is probably

going to charge you extra if you ever decide to get that bumper painted as they will want to strip off that spray can finish.

or you can get paint mixed into a spray can with the same paint code as the rest of hte car...



i would wet sand that then shoot it again with the special mixed up paint.



then polish and maybe try clear coat in a spray can.
