Bodywork parts are usually sold with a rough finish and are therefore unpainted. In this case, we have a black front bumper.

If desired, it can be sanded with fine wet sandpaper or simply cleaned with a suitable cloth soaked in a solution that removes any dirt. Once the piece is clean and dry, proceed to paint in a suitably ventilated area, free from dust, always wearing the necessary protective gear.

It is advisable to filter the paint to eliminate any impurities. Additionally, it is recommended to spray the paint in multiple passes and intervals with light coats, avoiding excessive application to prevent runs or other defects.

Finally, spray the clear protective paint until the optimal finish level is achieved. Car model: Hyundai Sonata Required tools: compressor, spray gun.
