For doing it yourself, It looks great.

As for the primered bumper, the grey had a good look to it while on the car.

Keep us posted :D

New grill before Paint
you can see why it needed a repaint, it was painted once before but there was lots off dry spray and it wasnt sanded that well so there was peeling :x

:shock:
This is the first time I've stumbled onto this thread, and I must say, the new paint job looks incredible, man! I can't find any overspray in any of the pics (could be resolution), and the color matches very nicely. Kudos, man!
