To all guys/gals that've painted middle section on bumper

I very carefully masked and sanded the center section. After the prep work was completed I used Duplicolor flat black bumper spraypaint(looks more like a satin black) in 3 light - medium coats to paint the center section, faux tow hook anchor, and grill bezel. Looks good and it has taken a beating in the freeway through a locust storm and still look like when I painted it. I will post picks when I get home.

I have a GG so the flat black looks great. But on a RR I may almost sway towards the gunmetal gray.

 

Try vinyl first, its inexpensive and if you mess up, you can always remove, start over, then paint it...my $.02

 

If you are interested in vinyl overlays, Ralliart will be coming out with one. Just giving you a few more options.

 

i got my vinyls from ExtremeVinyls.com cost about $60 for the red emblem overlay and a carbon fiber middle bumper piece.

 

$60?! Is that the one from ebay? If so, sorry to say but I do think that's a rip off. You can save yourself a lot of money by just getting vinyl at a local sticker shop or office supply store

 

FYI

well then do it bro! good luck to ya

 

you know what i did for a while? i use temporary paint you get at autozone or pepboys. its actually call temporary bumper protector. it holds up pretty well just dont brush it up against anything. reason why i did it that way was to see if i really want to do it but i dicide to wait and see if RRM comes out with a CF middle cover.
