HONDA CITY CABRIOLET TURBO2 : Front bumper&spoiler repaint 23

The rear bumper & spoiler and side skirts have been completed, and the area around the engine room has been cleaned up, so it's finally time to repaint the front bumper & spoiler.

There were some cracks and some parts that had come off, so I scraped off those parts until the base came out, and repeatedly polished and surfaced them using thin putty and plastic suff. This work is very difficult!

The two-stage lip spoiler is made by processing this genuine front bumper, so of course the curves are neatly aligned. (^_^)

Until now, it was all white, but this time I made the air intake area black by referring to the genuine coloring.

Install the second lip spoiler that was painted separately.

Finally, finish painting except for the opening.

The opening is painted in matte black just like the genuine parts.

The paint seems to come off easily around here, so I scraped it off until the base came out.

Finish the second lip spoiler first. Scrape, paint, and repeat to prepare the surface.

Polish the surface as close to the base as possible so that the painted surface will not crack later.

Place putty in the area where the paint has been peeled off and sharpen.

The lip spoiler I made before is also in a disappointing state.

There are countless cracks on the surface.

The paint is also cracking around the fog lights.

This is after hitting a pillar or wall in the parking lot.
