In today's video I show you how to fix and paint a front bumper lip with professional results! The Budget Build Honda Civic is no stranger to spray paint, but this is my best work yet! Queue the Rattle Can!

My last DIY spray paint job on the Civic didn't end as planned so I wanted to do it right this time! After acquiring a scraped and chipped OEM lip spoiler, I wanted to repair and paint it myself for the best before and after! Doing car mods on a budget is what I enjoy and I saved over $100 with this DIY job! I found that using the right paint and sand paper makes a WORLD of difference for painting plastic car parts. With that said, I still have much to learn about DIY bodywork and bondo lol.

It was time to retire my eBay front lip in exchange for some OEM goodness. The fitment of the OEM lip is unmatched and although it's less aggressive, I like the clean look. My Honda Civic has transformed a lot over the years, but little things like this make a difference in the BIG picture. I know everyone has probably scraped or broken a front lip at some point, so hopefully some of the techniques in this video help you out!

Since my "new" lip was used and abused, I had to do a bit of prep work to sand off the original paint. Going from 80-320 grit for most of the paint and bondo work. Then working with wet 600 grit for the primer sanding. Spraying the color coat was probably the easiest part next to the primer. The 2k Clear Coat was probably the most stressful knowing how much work went into the prep. That said, the Spray Max clear is a joy to use and really does lay nicely for spray paint. Needless to say, I was super happy with the results for a DIY job. Truly a close to the new finish!
