OUR PAINT PROCESS
All our parts are professionally painted to meet, if not exceed that factory paint quality & finish. You can see our process from start to finish in the below videos.
We will be using a Subaru WRX front bumper as our example, but our process may vary depending on the part.

Step 1: MaskingWe mask any areas on the bumper that are not meant to be painted just like from the factory. In this case, the WRX front bumper has a grille that is meant to be left unpainted.

Step 2: Scuff/ PrepAll parts are then scuffed and prepped to ensure proper adhesion. Depending on the part, this is done use a very fine sandpaper.
|
STEP 3: CleaningOnce in the booth, the part is properly cleaned to prevent any contamination and to ensure nothing is on the part.
|
Step 4: Adhesion PromoterMany parts come as a reinforced raw plastic. We apply a product called Plastic Adhesive Promoter which allows the sealer to properly bond to the scuffed plastic.
|
Step 5: SealerA sealer or primer (depending on the material of part) is then applied.
|
STEP 6: BasecoatThree (3) coats of base paint are used and painted to coverage. We use the highest quality materials to ensure a long lasting, factory paint job for your new parts.
|
Step 7: ClearcoatFinally, two (2) coats of clearcoat are applied to protect the paint from UV, road debris, and other damaging effects.
|
Step 8: PackagingOnce painted, all parts are then polished, powdered (protects the paint in the bubble wrap), and carefully packaged to ensure your new part arrives safely!
