A scuffed, faded, or mismatched bumper can drag down the look of your entire vehicle — even if the rest of the paintwork is pristine. Whether it’s the result of a minor bump, a respray, or sun damage, your bumper deserves the same level of attention and finesse as any other part of your car. At Iguana Car Care, we understand how to blend precision, polish, and patience to get it just right.
Start With Surface Prep
Good paintwork starts with great prep. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the bumper to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants. Any scratches or imperfections are sanded down to ensure a smooth, even surface. If needed, filler is applied and sanded again to achieve a factory-level finish.
Colour Matching Is Key
Matching the exact colour of your bumper to the rest of the car requires a keen eye and professional tools. We use manufacturer paint codes and blending techniques to ensure that the newly painted bumper integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s original paintwork — no awkward shade differences, no dull spots.
The Painting Process
Once prepped and masked, the bumper is sprayed in a controlled environment using high-quality automotive paint. Multiple coats are applied for depth and even coverage, followed by a clear coat that adds protection and shine. Each layer is given time to cure properly to prevent future issues like peeling or cracking.
Finishing With a Precision Polish
After the paint has cured, we carefully polish the bumper to blend it perfectly with the surrounding panels. Using a dual-action polisher and a range of cutting and finishing compounds, we bring out a smooth, high-gloss finish that mirrors the rest of the car. This final stage is crucial — it eliminates any paint haze and delivers that seamless, showroom-worthy look.
Why It Matters
A properly painted and polished bumper doesn’t just improve the way your car looks — it also protects your investment. A flawless finish enhances resale value, gives your vehicle a professional edge, and ensures that every detail (literally) matches.
