there was slight paint lines at first but i taped it to the contour of the lip instead of making straight edges, the when the paint and clear dried i went back and wetsanded the lip with 600 then 1000 to get it to blend, and yes it was rustoleum gloss black and clear.
Looks really good in the pictures but that would drive me crazy knowing that the bondo is going to crack eventually and the tape line around the opening shows.
If you plan on getting the bumper profesionally sprayed anytime soon at least you know how sweet it will look and just use the proper filler beforehand so no worries of cracking.

no paint lines, went back and wetsanded the edges to blend it, cant even see them its all uniform with the bumper.

Move away from Brockport. 
I don't have a front plate and haven't been hassled this summer yet, and I see a LOT of cops (mostly Irondequoit and state troopers, and RPD but they won't pull over for that). Car looks good though, I'm sure I'll see you around. You ever go to the Log Cabin on Wednesday nights?

The end result looks great and i've done a couple Camaro front bumpers like that over the years but did you only use bondo to fill in the holes man? If so unfortunately it's not going to last very long before it starts to crack out.

Log Cabin might be a little far for you westside guys, I remember it took me over an hour when I lived in Hamlin. Now it is about a half hour from Irondequoit, not too bad.
And blackfbird98, this is Justin. The guy who had the purple Firebird in high school, in case you didn't know lol.
