So I decided to do some paint work First I pained my silver ZR1's gunmetal. I just used duplicolor graphite wheel paint.
Before
After
Then I got sick of my chipped to hell front bumper. I had them repainted awhile ago but apparently the guy had no idea what real prep work was.
Before
Just a rough sand to see what I was working with.
rear bumper prep
Final prep on the front bumper.
End results
I put in the 1le fog light delete's that I have been holding onto for a couple years.
I also painted and put on the SS spoiler I picked up from slp for $120 shipped awhile ago.
Now I just have to paint the hood... and decide if I want to do the berger panel mod.

nason is a very good budget paint... it shoots nice and consistent, i like it better than the shopline stuff..
hard to tell from the pics, but it definetly looks alot better than what you had..
have you buffed it yet?

I haven't had a chance to buff it yet and to be honest it really doesn't seem like it needs it, but I definitely plan on buffing it when I get some spare time.

Thanks for the info. Look at the pics above, there are still layers of paint showing as well as base black urathane but feathered of course. Did the new paint lay well over that to the point that it is baby but smooth (no layering) as good as off the showroom floor?
It was a good learning experience though. 
I would sand it with sone 2500 or 3k paper and buff it out. Where did you do the painting ? garage?
I see you used the tarp instead of wetting the floor.
Looks good tho, how does the hood look? Id do it with the results you just got with the bumpers.

Looks great man!
Mine needs it along with the back bumper as well...
I'm looking to get into painting, what kind of gun do you use/recommend?
Would also like close up shots =)
