do you mean by brand?
a general rattlecan lacquer can be used and will work affectively ensuring all pre-stages have been done.

By rattlecan you mean a lacquer from halfords ?

Yep Halfrauds will do a lacquer in a can.

What about some carbon fibre?
I have some your welcome to. Repair from the back, epoxy resin then sand and lacquer.

I've just about finished my refurb of my splitters

it's not a perfect job as the amount and depth of stone chips was quite severe but I've rubbed them down as instructed by KK and filled the holes with grey filler compound and managed to apply 7 coats so far of spray lacquer.

They'll do as the bumper still looks like it was parked next to the twin towers in 2001


original condition and hole left splitter



Original condition right splitter


one original and one being rubbed down


one rubbed down and washed and the other first coat of lacquer


now three pics, one new splitter out of the box and one of my refurbed ones
