...LOL `Brent, yes I still see some hair on Greg's head : )~*I believe that certain humans are just blessed and inherited the ability/talent to be a painter.....
I'm sure not one of them : (
I'm taking all my paint work to Mod `Matt's Custom Auto Body & Paint : )

Finished pics are here. I know that I promised only one, but I was high on paint fumes. Those types of promises don't count.
This first one is after most of the trim pieces are back in place:
This next one is the bumper on the car, but not fully attached. I was nervous that the blacks wouldn't match up:
Well, the color matched up pretty good! I took a picture of it while it was sitting in the garage:
I knew that the REAL test would be when the car is sitting in direct sunlight...
Success!!!
I can't believe that it turned out as well as it did. Thank you again DRJESUS for giving me the courage to tackle this job myself.

Outstanding work! I've found if you are careful (such as proper prep and proper space/temp) you can do some good stuff with rattle can painting! Doing an entire front bumper cover is a LOT of surface area, but it looks great in the pics (and I personnally like that you had a LOT of pics posted).
Great work!! I believe it's recommended to let the paint cure for 10-30 days before applying wax (until then, gentle washing).

Thank you guys. Now I have to update my garage. It's good to see you on again Space. I have the t-shirt now so I need to hurry up and get the photos done. I should still be sending it out by Wednesday.
