nice. how long has it taken you? i'm thinking about repainting my bumpers because the clear coat is completely gone and there are major scratches. i'm glad i have a white car. i can just stick white primer on there and it won't look so ghetto. :thumbup:
but i'm wondering, why didn't you just take the bumper off and paint it?

I'm waiting for the paint to dry right now... it took a little over 2 hours from start (scrape & pressure wash) to the 2nd coat... then I ran out of paint so I just made sure that I covered everything...
I also used 2 coats of primer before painting, so it finished a little better. If you look really close you can see the lines where the edges of the flakey paint were... I got tired of scraping & figured that it's a temporary solution anyway :dunno: so it'll work for now!

All that work for the stock bumper?
I would've got an aftermarket bumper look way better.
But at least it looks better than it did before.

All that work for a cracked stock bumper, even... but I don't have any $$$ right now... I just bought a set of OEM floormats & am trying to restore everything as much as possible before any go-fast goodies are added (B18C5 anyone?!)... I'm going for the whole "sleeper" look... I just want an OEM-style bumper with a subtle lip...
