'96 Front Bumper Overspray

Re: '96 Front Bumper Over spray

Okay folks, here are some photos of C4's being painted at the factory. As you can see the front fascia and the headlamp covers are not painted with the C4.
Just to give you something to do, go and look at the hood hold down springs on your C4 and see if you can find any over spray.

I bet some of you can find some, just saying not making any statement.

My 94 does not have any over spray on the springs

Pat, mine's got it. I never noticed before 'cause it's usually sort of a dark area and you really can't tell until it's lit up. Interesting.

I am only here to share information and I leave recommendations to the experts.
Take care and thanks again.

My pleasure Pat. Thank you for all the research you do on C4s.

Pat, does that mean the hood springs were on during the paint progress ??

Re: '96 Front Bumper Overspray

I've decided to clean this up and bring it back to TP. I also have overspray in hood hinge area. I have seen references to hood hinge overspray in previous conversations. Should I remove this overspray or leave it be?

Re: '96 Front Bumper Overspray

Floyd, my only concern is, can you clean it up without affecting the black finish? In other words, is the fix going to worst that the perceived issue? I have seen over-spray on the springs and on the hood wheel area, especially on Grand Sports. However, never in the area that you are displaying. I'm attaching some picture of my car of that general area for your review.

Re: '96 Front Bumper Overspray

Thanx Ed,

I was planning on "removing" the red overspray by covering it with black. I have a few other small areas that require touch-up of the blackout such as the hood wheel well sections. Your pictures are helpful.
