Did you use any flex additive for the bumpers? If not, it'll probably crack and chip.

Re: Ooops, if only insurance would cover stupidity.

The guy at the paint store said it would be okay. i didn't expect the bumper to turn out perfect. it's such a pita to sand down. i had to use a lot of putty to fill in the small rock chips and there were still more. if it get's too messed up i'll put the bra back on and paint it again later. wouldn't mind getting a new one either.

Re: Ooops, if only insurance would cover stupidity.

pictures i promised... i got the front bumper, hood inserts, tail light panel, and both front fenders painted and cleared. just have to wet sand them. i know the pictures suck. best i can do with this p.o.s. phone. color look funny from the odd light angels and the crappy quality.

Yeah. I like some of the euro tail lights, but I don't think any of them would look good on my car. they look good on the red and black cars usually, but not too sure about my color. i haven't seen pictures of any. Hey Brangeta, do you have any pictures of BPM camaro's with euro lights?

No, all euro lights look like crap, and I refuse to save the pictures.

Paint looks great to me!

I agree Brangeta. Euro lights look crappy.

Paint does indeed look good.

I am thinking about trying painting myself.
