Painting the bumpers on my VW Transporter T6

[@baggsofadventures2838]

Absolutely amazing

[@Sher_hayat_x]

Great work btw chap. Love the humor and that cheeky edit when you clipped the front bumper on was awesome haha

[@antonnarnickis6675]

Thanks for video! About to do the same with my van 🤙🏻

Excellent job 👍 I painted my sprinter bumpers 4 yrs ago with rustins gloss black and a 4” sponge roller. No sanding no masking and it still looks epic.

[@peakyparttimers9362]

You've done a fantastic job of them bumpers. I always thought you couldn't do it. I ended up having mine replaced and resprayed. It cost over £1000. Good to see this is achievable with the black bumpers.

Great work Karl!

[@knightsmithrestorations5409]

I’m enjoying your humour! Keep going... this is good 👍🏻

[@russcurrie72]

[@KBeadle]

russell currie thanks Russell yes I was rather pleased myself

[@kyledale201]

Nice job mate what grit sandpaper did you use bud

[@andreasdahl717]

I enjoyed this!! Great humor, video and tips! Tnx! You have a new subber :D

[@ukspaniels]

Not bad, looks a bit rough where the white meets the standard black lower grille. Hopefully it doesn't flake. Good effort mind :)

[@jackhale6685]

What grit sandpaper did you use at the start ?

[@VagcomDordrecht]

How long did it take to sand it and paint it? I want to do this also on a 2011 caddy

[@bringtrooper666]

Great vid , what grid did you use on the Rotary sander ???

[@markhorrell3111]

Purchased my t6 2 years ago and paint cracked away from textured bumpers ! Didn’t realise it had been done on the cheap. Went to get it resprayed or wrapped most companies wouldn’t touch textured bumpers. One company did - had it resprayed and now less than a year later it’s cracking and peeling again

[@andymccann2716]

What grit did you use for sanding please?

[@VidzVideo]

was the top coat a colour and gloss in one or did you do a base coat and clear over it?

[@ollydogtravels9465]

the black commercial look is starting to get popular esp with a lift kit and off road style tyres

[@YouKnowXtotheZ]

Quality

[@kolroot1281]

Отличная работа. А у нас чёрные бамперы называют практичными.)

[@Sher_hayat_x]

What amount of white paint was used ?

[@down4first774]

Thanks Keith. Did you use a clear coat at the end on these? Thanks.

[@doglifehub]

I think the nights get longer in November, but I get your point lol!

[@hectorruiz1291]

Any issues with it afterwards sticking or peeling? I want to paint all the texture plastic on my VW Atlas. But the bodyshop says it can't be done.

[@KBeadle]

@@hectorruiz1291 I dunno I sold it 6 weeks later

[@JamesRobertMTB]

I want to do this so bad but do not have the courage!

[@alimcebeci]

Hallo... Wirst du Nebelscheinwerfer tragen?

[@stevebarker1302]

how long did it take to flat sand them completely?

[@KBeadle]

A couple of hours

[@classic1989mini]

Have you taken the van on a road trip yet? just wondered how all your fine work held up!

[@KBeadle]

Yes been to Europe a few times, I also use it several times a year to stay out for work and it all works perfectly

[@nikolase7691]

Nice Job :) think i ´ll try this procedure instead of buying a complete upgrade set.. Could you tell me, which paper grades you used ? :)

[@KBeadle]

I can't remember exactly but I think the finest was about 2000

[@nikolase7691]

Thx for the reply, i think getting rid of the texture is the key part, painting shouldn’t be the problem or did you experience any spalling of the paint yet ?

[@davidrees4063]

what, no one moaning about air fed masks and blar blar blar. what sort of youtube channel are you running here? crack on, it's looking great.

[@KBeadle]

it won't be long I'm sure
