Painted My Platinum Graphite Bumper BLUE - Thoughts?

just trying to be like you, ak! actually, MB was my initial choice when I thought about getting the Z. but my last car was a similar blue so i wanted to switch it up.

trip was great, thanks. yea, it was 3m and worked like a charm. the coverage i used was PERFECT. the only place that got hit by bugs was the black plastic, windshield and headlights. fortunately no rocks flew my way, but it saves me the cleanup and ive seen bugs do nasty damage to paint.

no residue, peeled off easily - no one pointed and laughed (that i saw). overall a great temporary solution for someone without paint protection.

im also happy to report that i averaged approx 31 MPG on my trip. it was 437.02 miles and i used 3/4 tank (my calculations may be wrong but the mpg needle was constantly between 20 and 40). gotta love 7th gear...
