I have to agree with her. This is one of the nicest re-sprays I have seen in a while.

Whoa! I didn't even realize it was an Impala bumper!! That makes this job even better.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pics but from what I can see the reflection in the bumper looks kind of soft, did you color sand it between coats? Is this just something to hold you over until you can get it professionally resprayed?

Wow. So this is an Impala SS bumper with the Monte SS front chin. That's really something.

Thanks every one.
@Brittany, DEFINITELY! I had some family pictures taken this weekend and she did an awesome job. I have already asked her to take some pics of my car and she agreed.

@04MonteLS, I didn't get pictures of it, but yes. A lot of sanding was involved. I used a lot of 1000 and 2000 grit wet/dry paper. I used a total of 7 cans of black, so however many coats that is... Wet sanded between each. I did NOT color sand the final coat because it is almost a perfect match with my factory finish. It took a LOT of work to make that chin fit on the Impala bumper. Thank you for noticing and appreciating how much was involved.

@TheMonteMan, LOL, it DOESN'T match! It took a LOT of work to make it fit the way that it does.
