anyone know how much it would cost to colour code bumpers and all grey strips on a ts in metallic? or have any ideas on the cheapest way possible to do it?

cheapest way would be to buy the pressure packs in spray can form and DIY shouldnt cost more then $200 for about 10 cans....
my wing was $250 to paint, so going by that, i would say each bumper would be $200-$300 to spray, side strips, id say $50-100 a side

If you do it yourself make sure to use the special primer for plastic and to carefully follow any instructions on cleaning the plastic parts, otherwise the whole lot is likely to flake off.

Find a mate with a spraypainter friend. I have such a spraypainter friend and a panelbeater friend, also a professional fabricator brother. Good times.

mate, the cheaper way to do it and jsut as effective is for you to go repco or supercheap buy the cans for $10 each and go for it! for mine i used 3-4 cans for the bumper bars and 1 can of primer adn 1 can for the side door plastics. And it matches perfectly!! i will post photos soon you'll see what i mean. :) i did mine couple of months ago adn its still perfect!

hey thanks for that ive actually used the spray packs myself just recently to fix some damage on my bumper and it works really well, ive also got my bumpers black which isnt colour coded but looks really good for now, but i certinately would think abou going the whole way myself after rego is paid and i do other mods that are higher on my list
