    Question Advice Plz On Paint And Stuff...

    Hey ppl
    i have some questions if u could help me....

    Im considering a paintjob for my silver 87 GL, and im also thinking of painting the bumpers silver too instead of black, but they are.nt steel ofcourse, so would they change colors after a while or smthin???

    Im also thinking of instaling LED tail lights and rear flashers, as well as the front lower flasher, (like the 2006 Accord's), would they work? Cuz whenever i enter any shop, they tell me anything could work on any car, but i have some doubts though...
    So can u help me guyz, i'd be grateful...

    thz agn...

    painting plastic bumpers is all in the prep work on the bumper. it's perfectly possible as you can see by all he cars on the road with factory painted bumpers. you have to have a flex agent added to the paint that the bumper is painted with. any decent body shop knows this. if you want to do this yourself,just have the paint store mix a portion of the silver paint up with some flex agent. you can use this same paint o n mirrors and things like that also.

    Calm down dude 2kooL. Might want to double check the model of your 3gee, if it is an accord that is.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!
