What's the plan regarding lacquer coat Alex? Will you be sending them off to be done professionally or are you gonna try it yourself?

I'd be happy to re-furb my spare set but i'm not sure the lacquer that i have will harden sufficiently to last a reasonably long time...

Any good bodyshop should be able to rub them down and lacquer them. Just advise/ check with them on how they intend to do it, to ensure it's done correctly. It's very straight forward tbh.

I did the prep work and I dropped them off to the bodyshop who are re-spraying the bumper.

They use a two part Lacquer which has a hardener in and this will give the best results, finishing with oven treatment. Like I did last time.

You cannot obtain a good and durable finish with any type of DIY aerosol, it gets applied too thin and does not last.
