Well, I had been reading pretty much every thread I seen about this on vetteforum and figured I'd give it a shot. It took me about 2 hrs to prep and mask everything yesterday, and today I cleaned it up before painting it, took maybe 45 mins to paint waiting 15 mins or so inbetween coats. Lol, the hardest part is building up enough nerves to scuff the bumper.

I used a grey scuff pad, flat black bumper paint (with flex agent in it) 2 types of masking tape, 1 was a 1/8 inch thin (for pinstriping) worked great to mark my line, and a 1/2 inch masking tape for the rest, rubbing alcohol to clean the bumper after scuffing it and newspaper. I was told by a friend who paints to use the grey scuff pad insted of sandpaper (although I know a fine sandpaper would work) But he said with the scuff pad there would be less chance of getting some deep scratches that would show up. Anyway, I love the way it looks, now I need to do it on our Z06.

 

Not sure if im into it. I need to see pics from further away to see how it makes the car look overall.

 

Here's a few I found on the vette board

 

not my cup of tea, but nice work

 

i like it alot i would do mine but my car is black....i dont think it would make much of a difference...lol...looks awsome dude

 

Thanks guys, yeah I wouldnt do it if I had a black car.

 

I think it looks way better than stock. I too want to do this as soon as I get my black rims

 

Yeah it looks good on Silver.

 

I love that look but I would have done it Gloss Black

 

Actually I like it flat (kinda looks like the C6 rear) which is flat black looking, although its a plastic piece. Ive seen it painted gloss black (or with a clear over it) and I didnt care for it, but everyone is different.

 

looks awesome and reminds me of my 03 cobra a little, I want to do it to mine soon!

 

Looks good. That is going to be my next mod once I get her out of the shop.....

Pictures look good!

 

I like it! I would do it myself if my car wasn't black. Good job, it really looks stellar in the flat black!

 

Looks like it's been professionally painted! good job!

 

I like it. Nice job.

 

You did a pretty nice job. I like how it sets the car off.

 

Did you drop the Exhaust?

 

Looks good, like the ceta mod for us TA guys, which i still havent done lol

 

Looks great man! I have been telling my buddy with his silver C5 to do it for months now.
