Repainting Bumper Covers

[Big Daddy]

I removed my front and rear bumper covers to have them repainted. I was surprised at how easy this is. The front had numerous rock chips and some scrapes under the front lip due to curbs. The rear was in great shape except that some moron tapped me and left his/her license plate bolt heads imprinted in the cover. Do not know when this happened, but now it is going to be corrected. Also it was cheaper in the long run to have both done than one due to the price of paint. Now I can't wait to get them back and installed so I can DRIVE it!

Sounds like a great idea! Of course, we'll see pictures of it?

Here are some rear shots with the bumper covers removed:

I pick the painted bumper covers up today and will photograph them. More pics to follow...

Here are a couple shots of one of the bumpers, note that it is extremely dusty from being in the body shop, but you can still detect the flake in the Cosmos Black paint. It looks very deep and wet.

Looking into the brake duct vent:

Bumpers & tires

I don't know , Dan, but it looks like your tires are on backwards!!! That could cause those rock chips. lol

I got to looking and we had the fronts on and off to roll the car around and they were on directionally wrong! Now that the car is back together I have them traveling in the correct direction. Thanks for pointing that out.
