Default Repainted my front/ rear bumpers today...and MCF decal put on!

So today I went and got some of the overly expensive 9075 paint code - Torch Red paint to re-do my bumpers from last winters hit/run's. All I really did was scotchbrite, primer and shoot them. They turned out really good but are just a little rough compared to what I expected. Still - they are so much better looking than they were before. Win.

What process did u use? Clear coat? Did u use any rubbing compound? Looks better than before but could be made better.

Ya looks real good but a mild rubbing compound might get it to shine more. I dono about clearcoating it becuse you can't really do seam to seam cear coat shot. Spot clear coating may make it look bad

Definitely looks better than before. Maybe a wet sand with some 2000 grit paper, some non-abrasive compound and a coat of wax will help to bring out the shine?

x3, 2000 grit and some Meguires ultimate compound would do wonders.
