My Diy Front Lip Repair

[jeff]

here's my DIY job on my front lip which was scraped against the gutter, cracked from driving out of my driveway and scratched at the front from driving down a steep driveway that flattens out!

Before the mishaps

1st damage out of a carpark in Chatswood!

2nd damage from my driveway being too farked!

3rd damage driving down a steep driveway that flattens out (I didnt realise how close I was)

Repair starts with fibreglass to fix the crack and putty to fill in scratches...bit dodgy with my filling in but it worked

Let it set and sand back (left it for the next weekend as I was too busy and didnt mind driving the car without the lip)

Once all sanded back, lip was sprayed with primer

Sanded back again with a finer wet & dry paper

I used one can of "Matt Black" spray paint bought from Super Cheap

No chance of lowering the car... not yet anyway.

I personally think the Black looks a lot nicer!! Do you?

Nice work mate.. coincidence as I just did a similar job with my east bear lip, i'll try to get my diy article up shortly too.

Agreed, excellent job mate!

Should get this thread happening in the DIY forum as well.
