    Something like this, my mate was spraying his camper van so opened the tailgate to see how the colour matched the un-faded paint inside and it knocked the can off the bumper into a Stanley knife with the blade slightly protruding on the floor, puncturing the can and covering his shoes and hands in paint before he could throw it in a disused cabinet drawer in his shed where he was working.

Just wondering if anyone has done this?

    Judging by this YT video the price quoted seems quite reasonable.

    You could buy the front and rear black packs and do it yourself.

    Talked to my panel guy on doing the painting. He's going to do the front bumper in place to avoid all the dismantling. I'll pull off the fog light surrounds and I'm taking the rear bumper off for him to paint.
    I think this is the most effective approach.
    Will take some before and after pics - likely sometime January.
