that's what I want....were they lacquered?

and how did you get them painted? directly? or sanded first, then primered and then painted?

No they are not laquered , otherwise they would be too glossy

I still use bumper car etc on my scuttle , handles etc but the same applies to bumpers/arches

Sand sand sand

Filler primer

Paint

They are all now slightly smoother , which was what I wanted to match the texture of the GSi bumper
