SEM bumper paint for the C900 - no joy, changing products Posted by DET17 [Email] (#1254) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DET17) on Sat, 12 Nov 2022 05:14:33 In Reply to: Proper SEM bumper paint for the C900, DET17 [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 6 Aug 2022 09:41:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well after 2 attempts to repaint my front bumper, I'll post this. In both attempts, a large amount of "spider webs" occurred where the bare plastic met the original paint. Plenty of wet sanding and feathering, wiped the entire bumper with the proper prep solution and yet the spider webbing persists.
Consulted an old friend who has got more than 50 years in body & paint.... he advises me that the SEM products are "mid grade" at best and heavy with solvent. He believes that content is "lifting" the edges giving this spider webbing.
He works for a German company which competes with SEM. I'm going to send him the ODOARDO GREY Code 223 as was mentioned in this thread and see if he can find a match in his German product.
I'll share what we end up with. However at this point I'm changing horses as the low dollar SEM bumper coater won't give me an acceptable result.
