just sprayed my bumper last week and was able to let it dry. it wont go on till i get the grill and get some of the pieces on the bumper wrapped in chrome.
its been awhile since i made any updates but here it is... slowly but surely lol.
3 coats of base
1-2 coats of mid
4 coats of clear
all in all the paint matched pretty well being that it was my first time spraying chrome but hey i needed to learn one day.

thanks man. to be honest im not very skilled. i just decided to give it a try because people were asking an arm and leg to get it done. so i just bought the paint for 85 a pint. i already had some of the other equipment. i figure hell if i mess up all i need to do is sand it down and repaint it.
updates will keep coming whenever i do anything to the car. lol

i was able to put the bumper on check the paint match and its almost spot on. the difference is the bumper is a tad bit lights but not too noticeable. i also clayed, sealed, and waxed the entire car. sorry for the terrible lighting.

rapainting the whole car probably not. just the front end needs some fixing and repaint and still its probably something i wont do. but then again if they ask for more than what i think its worth i will do it myself. i got qoutes for 800 for the front end which isn't bad especially from a reputable body shop. for the bumper they were asking 500. i want new fenders before i get the front end done.

hows the ride coming along?
I decided to keep my car and mod it some more, so some of this stuff on here may help me when I install my air setup. Do you have a pic of your car fully aired up? The front end sucks so much on our AWD 3GS man! I hate it sometimes... I am maxed out in front on BC's and it is not as low as I would like. I was on the fence on whether or not I wanted to pursue this AWD issue, but I might as well since the car has been paid for for 4 years now and it is still a reliable form of transportation.
I am having trouble deciding what BAGS to go with. Is it a MUST that i send out the rears to get custom fab'd? I hate down time as im an impatient ****!

Yes, unfortunately you have to send them out unless you know the exact measurements to cut and re weld the rear shock housing. They will put everything together for you so basically u just need to put them on the car and make your height adjustments. I don't have any pics fully aired up but it sits at stock height when it is. The fronts don't need any modifications but they do replace all the unnecessary parts and send it back you with your coils
