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.

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?

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.
