VXOC Astra-J/GTC

So after some tw*t decided to use my front bumper as a parking guide.



Got a couple of quotes and couldn't justify the price they wanted so
I decided to have a go at respraying it myself.

Got genuine Vauxhall paint and lacquer from ebay. Masking tape from poundland, already had some primer already and just used old news paper to mask off.

Now it's by bo means a professional job but it's good enough that you can't really see it now.



All in it's cost about £30 for me to do. Saving about £200 on the prices i was quoted.

You were being quoted around 230 for that??? Jesus I wouldnt have even quoted that for the complete bumper never mind just a corner!

They all wanted to take the bumper and trims off. So can only guess it was a lets see how much we can make.

Nice job mate, I've got a few to sort on mine at some point.

I've found I can get gen VX paint and lacquer cheaper from the dealer than ebay.
