Plastic Bumpers

I thought the Dashboard was going to be a difficult task. I tell you what; it was cake in comparison. Not that the bumpers were hard to swap out, but matching the paint would prove to be almost impossible. After about three attempts I finally got the right shade of white. Not only did I repaint the bumpers, I took this opportunity to repaint all the black trim including the grill, mirrors, some vents, door handles, etc. I also did away with the square fog lamps. I think I’ll install some round rally style Hellas.
Switching the bumpers might not be a radical change, but it really takes about 5 years off the car’s age bringing it into the 90’s.

Wet-sanding the final paint.

Painting the lower valances. They were too dirty to get completely clean.
