Default Plasti Dip bumper

To finish my blacked out look, I plasti dipped the front bumper. I got a new rear bumper a few months ago, but I got a black one. I've been running around with a chrome front and black rear bumper. I don't like chrome, but I don't know if I'm really feelin this.. what do you guys think

Looks better than chrome IMO. Matches your rims

That's what I'm sayin.. plus I'm getting aftermarket rims once my tires wear out so it won't be too long. I don't really like chrome and the rims I want have little chrome accents.. so it should all tie together

I think it'd look a little better gloss black vs flat. But it's still good work

Nothing but washed it. Followed 01BlueCrew's technique by just spraying a light coat on at first an waiting to dry. Barely covers, so it dries fast. Second light coat next, let dry. For me by now it was almost covered, but I did two more coats to be sure. You're gonna see spots you missed where you can still see metal. Just touch them up.. it's hard to make this stuff run too, which was a help.
