Black 'mouth' on Nismo front bumper flaking/chipped. Solutions?

pickardracing · 09-05-2017, 08:57 AM

Pretty much what the title states.

The black 'mouth' / grille area on my 12' Nismo is getting pretty beat and ugly. Literally the only unattractive piece on the car is this area which looks to have some incredibly thin black 'paint' on it that's obviously very easily damaged, since I'm very particular about my car and it's care.

Outside of dropping this thing off at a body shop and paying out my *** to have it resprayed, has anyone had any luck with any other remedy? Just looking to see what others have done, if anything.

Thanks!

I got a whole new bumper from ebay for $399.00. 3 coats and a clear coat finish. It looks stock perfect.
