Thinking of painting my front bumper. How is the grey?

[matty088]

I have a scratch in my front bumper. Not horrible but I don’t love it. I am thinking about painting the bumper to fix it. My question is. How is it painting the grey metallic. Is it easy to match? I read a ton about how impossible the white is. What about the grey? I don’t want to ruin the car Bc there is a small scratch!!!

On my old black metallic 435i I had a piece painted and it matched flawlessly. You could never tell.

So anyways. It’s not about the money. It’s about the match. Anyone have any experience with the grey metallic?

A great painter with the right tools and enough test panels can match anything.

Have you tried polishing it out first?

[matty088]

Yes. Just with scratch x though. Which is a light polish. Do you have a recommendation?

You don't have to blend a bumper if your painter has the skill and patience to match the colour

From factory plastic bumpers are always a shade different to the metal panels due to the medium, so even if you did blend into fenders/bonnet there will still be a slight colour variation
