Hi all
As above really, have lacquer flaking on bumpers and mirrors, any idea if it is a big job to respray ?..do they have to have the old paint stripped off ? and what the cost would be roughly.
Cheers

Re: bumper & mirror re-paint
Neither are particularly difficult. Are you planning to do it yourself?
I would take the opportunity to dismantle the bumpers and spray the metalwork as well.

It's a lot easier getting the right finish on these than it is on a body panel IMHO.
Try a wing mirror and see how you get on, if you don't like the result you can always try a bodyshop later.
