Default Painting the front bumper support/bracket

Anyone have pics of these painted black? I am going to do my best to make it match the other black brackets on the font of the car...(I'm painting the middle bracket too, that way the major parts you see match perfectly) I am taking to work with me in the morning, so I should have some progress pics tomorrow.




Opinions & feeback welcome!

I painted mine black. I just cleaned it real good and sprayed it. It looked 100% better. Sorry but I don't have any good pics of it though.

Here is a pic of it on the car. It is a great improvement IMO & it only takes a few minutes to take it off & put if back on.

Not bad. I thought of doing that when I did the backs of the headlights, but didnt wanna pull it all out.

Nice job

ps. I see the fog lights are back in

I was glad that the headlights were already done for me. My friends were ragging me about the fog lights.

Looks good, post up pics with it installed. My origanal thought was to do base/clear, I went with a 1 step satin finish instead.
