Spray Paint, Bumpers and Grill, Bay Window. 1973 VW Bus Restoration Part 8.

- Part 8 of the restoration of our 1973 walk through bay window named Lily. This video is a quick walk through of us temporarily painting the bumpers and grill of the bus to better match our final vision. The bumpers and grill were previously cream colored, and now they are white. We used Behr spray paint after discovering their sea foam color closely matches Lily's current paint job.
This involves removing the bumpers, cleaning them with a degreaser (we use simple green), lightly sanding them, and finally painting. More videos on actual automotive work coming soon (fabricating mounts for new seats, replacing the steering linkage and tie rods, and more).
Please feel free to ask any questions, or provide any suggestions. A video comment is how I learned my engine does not have a thermostat, and how I add more content to this VW Bus series.

@@callalilycollective I was wondering if you were going to try to straighten out the little bend in the bumper ...
