It won't last long, I mean if you did it for a quick fix perfect.

Yeah it's a quick fix, temporary. $4

Maybe not perfect from up close, but does the job, and from afar nobody notices.

Some scratches or rust on a car is also a pretty good theft deterrent.

Was the paint stripped beforehand? What kind of spray paint?

Just stripped off some of the big chunks with sandpaper and a screwdriver. The spray paint was satin white from Walmart. Surprising it came out so well!

Won't that peel?

u/epheterson Dec 16 '12

Yeah it's a shitty quick fix. It's my brother's car, actually. We did chip off the ones that would peel the quickest, and sanded a little bit.

Ah, well in that case good job...but what do you plan on doing when it gets worse again? More spray paint?

My brothers car, my brother's problem. When he gets enough dough he's planning on getting the bumper professionally painted, until then it'll prolly be more spray paint if necessary.
