Default Painted Bumpers

I have received several request for updated pics of my painted bumpers. I painted them myself and here they are.

I used an angle grinder 400 grit to sand the chrome strip and re-sand the back bumper. I used self-etching primer, then regular primer. I wet sanded it with 800 grit. I used a HPLV paint spray gun to paint the bumpers and then clear coated them.

I posted these a few days ago.

I picked it up at Sherwin Williams. I called, gave them the paint code and picked it up the next day. Thanks guys, I was very happy with how it turned out.

I think the headlight housings need to be done along with the gill inserts for a nice stealth look!
