nice bro!!!!

chuckd05 · 04-10-2011, 11:37 PM

are all of you clearing yours? I had mine painted and it has chipped like crazy in a matter of a month...

it was done by my shop using "trim black" paint... same as my rear valence that has been on for a year, but obv not taking sand/debris at it at all being in the rear.

simota1 · 04-11-2011, 04:06 AM

i cleared mine... but rocks tore apart the clear also... it held up pretty good for a year....

I am getting my front bumper replaced and the fangs will not be painted. I will post photos when it is done. Thanks for the pictures guys.

chuckd05 · 04-26-2011, 09:32 PM

im not going to re paint the bumper back to stock I think, the chips are very annoying..

not sure if I will get it black than cleared over or stock color for sure yet, but be weary of chips if its a daily driven car

Any solutions to the rock chips guys?

thispecialk · 05-10-2011, 02:26 AM

Would you recommend doing this with flat/matte black instead of satin black? I'm not sure how shiny it gets but I definitely do not want it to be glossy

oh, and what grit do you recommend for sanding?

SPOHN · 05-21-2011, 12:22 PM

I feel flat/matte would be the best. Thay's what I'm going to do. I've already bought the paint. Just need to find the time. I feel this will look great next to my GM on my ride. I like the dull look.

I agree.. especially since my wheels are matte black and my vinyl is duller than the di-noc cf
