What does everyone use to paint the lower plastics on the front bumper? I just got my grille painted black and wanted to get the lower plastic pieces on the bumper painted as well, and just leave the chrome.

I use plasti dip flat black. It's removable so when u get tired of the look u can go back to stock. It looks great got it at my local Home Depot. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362944731.032596.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1362944750.375881.jpg

You can get glossifer from this website to make it look shiny and wet.

I was going to plastidip it, but wanted more of a gloss look other then the matte black. Is there a clear you can buy to spray on to bring it to a shine?

Wait about a week so it can cure and you can use a pressure wash it all you want. Just make sure you put enough coats on it to be durable.
