    well some of you might know that i HAD an SE' bumper and swapped to a gt/p bumper. well the bumper is in pretty good condition except for the lower fashia? i guess the word would be. well it was a gray type of color and all scratched and stuff, and i saw someone on here had a silver car with the lower part black so i decided i wanted to dew that too and heres the results before during and after.

    That looks good! But you should have probably sanded the scuffs out. I need to do this or get an SD air dam

    You should have sanded and primed it to try and remove some of the scratches.

    Actually that was the first thing to pop into my head lol

    Looks good, I don't think silver grand prixs look good with any other color fascia then black and gunmetal.

    What would you sand this with? Paper? Wet sandpaper? Sand block?

    I did mine with 600 dry. It's been over a year and no sand scratches have come through. Mine is a bronze metallic color to match some vinyl I have on the top side.

    i just used some random sanding block from walmart. came out fine. the paint really filled in alot of the scratches and stuff.

    the paint was valspar plastic paint. gloss black. no primer needed.

    This is by far my favorite thing that I have done to my car. even though it is a big ***** you should paint the rear one to mach now. unless your serious about getting it repainted in the spring then I would leave it
