A few questions:

What grit sandpaper did you use?

What paint did you use?

What clear did you use?

It looks really good!

I used in this order:

Red 3M Scuff Pad
Adhesion Promoter (3 Coats)
Self Etch Primer (3 Coats)
Duplicolor Perfect Match - University Black (Bun0100)
Duplicolor Top Clear Coat - 2 Full Cans almost 6 Coats (bit on the safe side)

Bumper was basically perfect condition didn't really need to wet sand at all. Came out really glossy and smooth. Just took my time and very happy with it.

Thanks!

Yeah I'm diggin the insert being chrome still. I'm not a huge fan of chrome so I actually very lightly sanded the chrome on the insert and bottom billet to look more brushed. Plan on gettin black wheels with maybe the brushed accents.

Sounds like its time to clay and buff the paint..... Looks good though. Leave the insert whrome for now, it matches the chrome on the rims.

Did as you said and it matches perfect now =)
