Well I finally got the balls to get rid of the chrome off my rear bumper. Since I figured I wouldn't be getting a custom one anytime soon, might as well make my stock one look "custom"

to save bandwidth, all pics are here:

anywho, thanks to Christian for his advice on painting. Even though this was all done with just 2 cans of spray paint, sandpaper, and a can of acetone

Oh, and thanks to Bob for constantly reminding us to have protection when painting, cuz if I didn't buy a mask, I would have lost a good amount of brain cells -_-

 

Looks good. I will prolly be painting my grill black over the summer. Black is good.

 

looks good man ... now what about the front?

 

the front will be getting a t-15 very shortly

 

Looks good Rob! Welcome to the black bumper club!

 

What about the door handles??

 

Even though I kinda like the chrome bumper yours looks pretty good. Really does look like you have a custom bumper and will look even better when your you get the front bumper too.

 

But I like Chrome :cry:

 

Looks good man.

 

hey nice job man.

is that accenting (the rubber and chrome stripe above your sliders on the doors) factory, or did you buy them?

 

That's what I'm talkin about! Nice work Rob!

 

Thanks for the replies guys, as for the accenting, I bought my runner used, and that's how it came. I was actually planning on taking it off, but since I have so much black now, I think I might leave it on.

Again thanks for the comments, since this was my first paint job.

 

The bumper looks good but I would vote for removing the accenting. It would look much more clean IMHO.

 

How many extra horses did that paint add??
