i still need my bumpers colour coding, they are half colour coding, which is metal smooth finish, and the black is ruff. How do i get this smooth, and dont say sanding cos that will take like a year to do
can the body shop just use leveler primer or what?
also how the hell do i get rear door handles out a cavvy or astra cos ive found loads, but the window runner is in the way!

you have to smooth it the bumper, dont go mad though then use filler primer to build up a thick base which you can sand smooth, i had my bodshop smooth my GSI front bumper and it apparently took 3 times longer than spraying it like normal, do the prep work your self and ya laughting, remove the runner if its in the way, if the car is scrap it dont matter rip it to shit to get to the bits you need

All you need to do is rub all the bumpy bits with 360 grit paper and use fill primer. Then rub it down with 800's wet and then paint. Simple as that. Hope this helps.

As long as you use fill primer and then flat it properly then you will never be able to tell that it was stippled before.
