Those additives used on rubber bumpers...

[offthahook]

Yeah, so the whip is wrecked, BUT I'ma get an allover paint job out of it!! How?? Cuz I have a grip of used parts for the front end that will counteract the $$$ of new Honda parts. What are the catalysts called (there are 2) that allow for flex so I can hammer it home that I need both agents on the bumpers for they won't crack?? I don't wanna sound like a tool when I talk to dude about it. He's willing to work with me and I can suppply the parts and he'll discount the $$$ on the estimate.

BTW, all th estimates refused to use aftermarket fenders and hood cuz they said on our cars the finish/alignment is NOT smooth. They all said they have nothing against the AM parts, but in Hondas and esp. our front ends, they are horrible. A front end right side (fender, hood, headlight assembly, marker light, some core support) is $3600 .

Go to the junkyard and find the parts you need. A fender is a fender whether it is old or new..just dont want any rust on it. Everything you listed can be taken from the junkyard.

I have the parts already . I'm getting a new bumper cover though and I wanna be sure to tell dude to use flex agent and whatever other catalyst/additive to make damn sure they won't peel. Some guys say you only need one or the other additive; I want him to use BOTH just to be extra sure (but I wanna sound like I know wazup while politely telling him).

Thanks and I'll just mention that. It is a very reputable shop, but I know they all will take shorts if they think they can get away... They use DuPont-- is that PPG and is it good stuff?? I'll post pics when I can.
