I did my front bumper with it and the rear. And to answer the question about how the front holds up I would say rather well. I have washed it many times and scrubbed off bugs. Only thing is you have to be a little careful on the outside edge of the paint as it is possible to start to make it peel back or break off a little. But that was only in the area near the fog lights.

Wow that front bumper looks so good! I just completed the lower part of my rear bumper. Didnt come out to bad, a very little bit of roughness on the edges. But the real test will be when its day light out, May attempt the front bumper tomorrow!!

That does look great .

I know you probably don't hear this often but I freakin love the look of your vette. I think I'm going to have mine painted like this professionally.

ShawnFate

you plan on doing around the air ducts as well on the front ?
if so can you take a pic of just the bottom middle before you do the air ducts/fog light area ?

I'd like to see how that looks.

wonder how it would hold up on the air dams

Damn! That is so original, yet simple in design! I love it! Too bad you live in a front-plate state...would look so much better with a yellow filler plate with black CORVETTE letters....call your Congressman!

It's a matter of personal taste - I really like how several of you have done it, it's one more way to set off your car as your own. I'd personally rather find a high-quality rear diffuser for the C5. I've seen them on the C6s in carbon fiber and they look awesome!

I do find it a bit funny that guys with cars that come with exposed black ABS plastic go and get it painted body color and then a bunch of people with vettes that don't have exposed black plastic turn their painted surfaces into it.

I'm going to go pick up a can and do some experimenting to see what I think. I've got another car with too much plasti-chrome-bling from the factory and would love to see if this can solve some of that for me.

I blacked out the emblems of my DD a few months ago and they have held up well.

See my DIY thread here: http://www.mbworld.org/forums/c63-am...k-emblems.html

Haven't done the vette as nothing seems appropriate.

i have to get some pin striping first to help me make the line but once i get it done ill snap a pic of it for you.

Thank you

[QUOTE=$$$frumnuttin';1577594294]I know. I would use a plate filler but that would draw more attention to me.

I modified my B&B bullet exhaust and custom built the shroud around the tips.

How many cans did it take to paint the lower rear facisa?

WildTurkey

Looks good! How well does it hold up/last??

Qwik01

Holds up great! I will use this as an example...

My side air ducts stick out quite a bit and rocks chip the edge pretty bad. When I got the car the black paint was worn off the inside of the air duct. I added a few coats black dupli color paint. A month later it looked like I didnt even paint it. I then used spray on bed liner. I thought this stuff would hold up to anything. The rocks chipped and wore away this paint as well in a month. So I sanded all that off and spray on 3 good coats of plasti dip. It has been a few months and the side air ducts look as good as the day I spray them!!!

You really could spray your whole front end with this stuff to act like a bra. It will not chip away with rocks and you can peel it right off and re-apply if ever neccessary.

Nice!

Don,
I used probably 3/4 of a can doing the lower portion of the fasica and the vents. I tried to stay clear of the tape at this point. The vents are the hardest to do. I didn't want to run out part way through my final spray so I started with a new can. So in answer to your question, 1 can would probably do it but I wouldn't want to run out and not be done.

Sinister-one

Where can you buy this stuff ??

JohnnyDee

I got mine at Menards. I would think Lowes or HomeDepot would have it. Our local Ace Hardware also carries it.

Corvette Don

Thanks I just got 2 cans to be safe.

It was $5.88 a can at lowes, its in the spray paint section, it was hidden all the way to the right at my store.
