Finally! CETA bumper done :)

I finally got around to do my CETA bumper this weekend

, and i think i turned out pretty good for having no painting experience

. It took longer than expected but looks great, judge for your self.

Before.

It took me about 3 hours to wet sand, tape, and cover the car, the rest took about about 2 so just a little over 5 hours for everything.

I just didn't think the sanding was going to take that long.

But I'm glad I did it.

As far as the supplys i just went to Autozone and got some sanding sheets p400 & 1000 grit, also some auto tape, some primer and finally the flat black.
the key is to take your time do it right and it will look good.
Good luck.

Awesome work man! It really sets off the rear end much better. I've wondered how easy it would be to do this to my car and how it would look. You've inspired another future mod

I've always thought the CETA bumper looks the best on white Trans Ams and your car proves that point!

I want to do this to my car but I'm afraid my minimal paint experience will mess it up somehow. The only thing I've painted recently that I can think of is painting my intake silver metallic to match the car, which came out pretty good. How many coats of primer and paint did you use, and how long did you wait between coats? Thanks.

Do you think a dark grey would look decent on white also or only flat black?

I would like to see some more pictures of it during the day too
