    Noob Painted bumpers! In progress!

    So i got tired of all the chips in my black 325i bumpers and decided to paint them myself. I decided to use Duplicolor's universal gloss black and their clear coat. I know many of you will frown on the use of Duplicolor but for $12 id rather have all black bumpers rather than speckled-crazy bumpers. Also i dont have the funds to get them pro-painted because Im only a student.
    So currently i have them painted with two coats of gloss black and im waiting for the paint to dry before i add the clear. will update soon.

    Pictures!
    first 2 are the before and during the prep.
    the 2nd two are after 2 coats of gloss; black pre-CC.
    Clear coat shots coming once i do it!

      1. Because i unbolted it but the guy I bought it from had some work done to it after he hit something with the bumper, so it would simply just unbolt off.

      2. It's not like 3 mins of putting newspaper over the grill is hard or long.

      3. noob status :D

                Black is nice as it is easy to match. Just about any black will match any black.

                Looks good by the way.
