Default CETA Question?

When doing the Ceta bumper mod, do you paint the crease or just stop at the crease on the bumper?

Some paint the crease some don't. I didn't paint the crease at first but did a poor job taping it off and it showed so I filled in the rest to cover up that mistake it looks good now. However you do it just be sure to tape it off evenly.

I'm pretty sure it's sating and I'll bet they painted the crease.

Is there a paint code on the CETA black for the bumper? I am trying to get this done and would like it to be the right color. Does everyone just pick a black and go with it or are they using a specific code?

i remember someone saying the Ceta's aren't painted, its just the color of the bumper. Z28/2000, know anything about that?

for my bumper, i used Dupli-colors line of auto paints. i used their primer, "universal black" base coat, and their clear top-coat. looks perfect.

with the paints i used, if you choose not to wetsand/buff after you're all done, you will get a satin/semi-gloss look (this is what i did- and i love it), and if you choose to wetsand/buff, you will get a glossy finish.

I can tell you that the bumper isn't molded in black. I've got some pics of the CETA's at ASC getting converted, I'll take a look at them tonight and post up tomorrow.
