Painted & tucked bumpers?

[zms325i]

Does anyone have pics of completely painted (surrounds, strips and buimpers) and tucked bumpers, in black if possible??? Should I do it??

Short answer = yes.

Josh's writeup how-to.

Search [this] or the [next] page or even the [third] of threads in this categorey and you'll see quite a few threads that have to do with pictures of tucked/ tucked + painted bumpers. In my opin. looks much better. What color is your car? I'd say body color painted plastic surrounds can look good or black even if your car isn't black. Up to you.


One of those threads.

Not if it's prepped properly. Scuff the shit out of the bumpers and use self-etching primer. The paint won't chip anymore than any other part of the car.
