OH SHIT!!!! My Bumpers Black

Recommended Posts

As some of you know I had gotten ran off the road over the winter and had to have another bumper put on and painted. Well the Tard that painted it painted the lower valence a different color than the rest of the car (Should have taken it to Kevin). The guy painted it silver instead of the Bronze Mist that it was and it just looked off, especially in the sunlight. So I decided to do something about it.

 

Decided to go with Black from Rustoleum Plastic Coat. I'm gonna do the rear as well but don't have the time right now. But IMO it looks much better.

 

 

Also Don't mind the lack of Fog lights. The covers on them are melted so I gotta find some at the junk yard next time I go.

 

Also gonna paint the grills to bring the color back and make them match

Well had some time yesterday so I decided to go ahead and paint the rear bumper and I must say that for the first time the rear end of the car looks damn good.

For whatever reason it's really tough to get a decent photo of the black.
