iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted April 6, 2006 what colour is your car is it that ups brown? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 6, 2006 It's a factory color it was only used in 91 on the corrado's pretty rare from what I have been told it's the main and only reason I bought the car . page 2 or 3 mate ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToffeeRado 0 Posted April 7, 2006 I'm doing it again because the one on my car shows the work done to it and there is many pinholes and you can tell I'm a perfectionist so that does not work for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToffeeRado 0 Posted April 7, 2006 what colour is your car is it that ups brown? I wouldn't use that color it's been done, I think it's stupid if someone goes out of there way to be different and then someone copies it. No one actually has the color code for UPS brown, people use porsche brown, UPS has never released the color code and I think they have copyright or w/e so if someone did manage to get it they could sue you if you used it or something like that.

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted April 7, 2006 can't you use filler to fill the pinholes on your old bumper? Dont they call filler "Bondo" in the states :-P Nice Ride ToffeeRado..love this car 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted April 7, 2006 can't you use filler to fill the pinholes on your old bumper? filler sinks after the while specially in the summer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted April 7, 2006 always best to plastic weld although i think modern filler is up to the job and doesnt sink, hell they use filler on porsches and ferraris when they fix them so its no longer the 'cheap fix' it once was,, this is what ive read i cant claim to have a clue!

ToffeeRado 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Well I don't want to fix my old bumper since it's on my car, it's not just pin holes it a lot of things side marker just filed with filler so i would have to dig all that crap out just not worth the time. I wanted to learn how to plastic weld anyways. If I fixed the bumper on my car now I would have a bumper with body work all over it, so once I finish this one I can get it painted and put it on . Bumper is not for sale sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToffeeRado 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Oh yeah I used a plastic welder and plastic cut outs are from a bumper that was wrecked from some domestic. A plastic welder is like a soldering iron but there is a hole in the top that you feed a plastic rod through, it's a very easy thing to do and it's interesting too. Yes we don't have plate recess over here in north america. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
