Took my Umnitza M5 front bumper to Eurorev to get painted and they are having trouble painting it... they say the oil in the bumper material is disturbing the baking process causing millions of little dots in the paint. So now they have to paint the bumper as if it were fiberglass where they spray it and let it sit for a day or two.
Anyone else have/had this problem with Umnitza bumpers???

Joe, it is our first time painting the Umnitza front bumper. The material is different from the OEM Mtech front bumper. Like I said over the phone, we want it to be perfect. Anyone can spray it and make it a quick job, but we want to make sure we get it right so that we can know how to paint the Umitzna parts next time.
It will be ready tomorrow Sat. Come around 2-3p!
