"not exactly what it sounds like. some of you may know my bumper was smashed (front and back bumpers infact) well i replaced the back one this weekend with one from a scrap yard not an exact colour match but close. Problem is it had white paint on it looked like someone had thrown a bucket of paint over the car i got it from not sure if its gloss or imulsion. there are little spots all over back bumper... how can i remove these? i have tried t-cut with no luck was concidering thinners? or maybe 3000grit wet and dry very lightly? any ideas?"

best bet for that fella is some thinners but dont go too crazy or proper cutting compound (not t-cut)i will bring some g3 up to squires next meet and give it a little go for ya i have come across things like this before...never easy just takes time and alot of elbow grease
"ok ill go for that haha. u do all my dirty work for me kenny.
Ill keep at it my self and see how i get on with a bit of scrubbing and patience "

May sound odd but try scrubbing some brasso onto it.
"really? i would imagine brasso just wearing through i tryed autosol on my front bumper to try tidy it up abit at rising sun and it made it even worse!!
however brasso is legendary stuff after using it when i finished my wheels!
"
personally i would keep brasso well well away from paintwork...........
Don't get James started on Brasso

Can do more harm than good. Due to it's content....
Yes it's good for gold silver and other metals but not painted surfaces like your car...
2b or 3b. Sure either myself or Kennet will be able to rectify this problem for you""

"I use it on my car. My girlfirend tried spraying some paint on a faded bumper. Sadly she was holding the can to far away and it came out very matted and nasty looking. So I took some brasso to it and it all came off doing no damage to the orignal paintwork. What about cutting paste sprayers use?"
