you don't unless you know what your doing...

kung mababaw lang ang scratches detailing lang katapat...
kung malalim dalhin mo sa service shop at paayos mo sa kanila...

papakahirap ka pa mayroon naman talaga gumagawa niyan...

^^^LOL * this reply :hysterical:

repainting scratches???

procedures;
1. Take a closer look at the scratches on your bumpers
2. Re-think what kind of quality or how good of an outcome you want the result to be
3. realize that you can't do it to 100%

or if you decide to DIY it just to try it out and do it right;
procedure;
1. sand the whole bumper until you get to partly sand off the primer
2. spray primer
3. spray paint
4. spray clear coat
5. wet sand with 500 grit wet sand paper
6. spray another coat of clear
7. wet sand with 1000 grit wet sand paper
8. spray another coat of clear

materials;
-primer
-wet sand papers
-paint from the factory
-clear coat (from the factory suggest)
-some spray equipment (spray can wont be satisfactory)
-knowledge
-experience
-patience
-time

What color are you painting? Whit is probably the hardest of the most common colors to match up with the rest of the car, especially if your car is quite old... GL

don't forget to include,wax remover/stripper,masking tape and newspapers. most japanerse cars nowadays has straight color paint.so just check on the paint code of your car and purchase only from a good shop.
