Default Custom Bumper Paint Job....thoughts

Well long story short.....I removed my Plastic front end grill to paint it black...

I did.....

Couldn't put it back on without removing the entire bumper. So I said forget it.

I bought a rattle can of black, clear, and ordered a white camaro decal.

Painted it black, put on the decal, clear coated it. Looks pretty good I think.

The reason I just didn't leave it white, was because when I removed the grill, the paint was all chipped and worn, so it didn't look good.

What ya guys think?

Looks good. Now fill in those holes the grille left. That's the only thing holding me back from removing it. I'll probably go with a Stull black billet grille from AfterThoughtsAuto. Don't want to swing the $130 for appearance right now though with heads/cam coming up in about a month or so.

I hear ya bout the holes. Not much you can do about them when u nothing about auto body. I'm content with the turn out. Looks tougher with thte holes!!
