Team,

Recently had my C3 painted and it looks great, BUT now the front bumpers look old, any ideas on the best way to restore...Thanks!

You can remove them, scuff them and paint them, or if your not looking for a forever fix but a quick fix, clean them good with a dish type soap, go to menards, home depot or similar and buy can or two of black plasti dip, it will make them look new with a flatt look, put about 5-6 coats so when you want you can remove it.

check out https://www.facebook.com/dandddesgnsllc, its my website for my business, we do plasti dip products, you can see a wheel I did for my 78, its cool stuff.
