Re: spray paint for front grill and bumper wings?

I just finished my rear bumper last weekend. I did both bumpers and the grill. I just got to get the courage to tear apart the doors for the handles and mirrors. Look at this thread The Painted Bezel Thread
lots of people have done it.

Re: spray paint for front grill and bumper wings?

I did my mirrors and door handles last weekend. The Bezel and wings were done 2 months ago. I used Fusion plastic pain not an exact match but very close.

Re: spray paint for front grill and bumper wings?

I did mine yesterday as a matter of fact. White bezel and everything that was grey on the bumpers is now black.
