new front bumper

[J Tegeler]

Today my montecarlo aka "Carl" got a new front bumper. The origional one was chipped up beyond any repairing. So I bought the new bumper and took it to a local shop to be painted. Well he just delivered the car with the new bumper and it looks good, but has some orange peal to it.

 

How long would you wait untill I give it a once over with the PC and get it looking good?

 

forgot to meantion that I had the bumper painted last Friday so the paint has cured for over a week now.

You can polish it sooner, just don't wax or seal it

[J Tegeler]

Well you won't be able to do too much for bad orange peel by polishing. That will really take some wet sanding

 

 

How bad is it ? If it is too bad the shop that painted it should smooth it down for you.

[J Tegeler]

it is not to bad, look like some SHR with the orange pad should taake care of it. if it doesnt I will take it back to the shop and have them smooth it down

You do know that Nick will want pictures, right

[J Tegeler]

I can provide pictures lol...But tonight after Giving Carl a 2 bucket wash it was decided it is going back to the paint booth for some serious wet sanding. spots were much worse than I noticed before.

from what i have seen on here beofore. Most will wait 60+ days just to be sure.

60 days for a DD in the sun or 90 for a garage queen before using anything on it.
