What shade of black to paint bottom of rear bumper?
I really like the looks of the Trans Am's that have the bottom rear bumper painted. Just wondering what color everyone is using to do that. Is it just a flat black or is it a Gm color? Thanks.

Aah...., there is only ONE color of black. So I assume you mean gloss, semi-gloss or flat. I believe most are semi-gloss as flat is very hard to care for.

On mine , I just used satin black Bumper&trim paint . Nothing fancy , just in a spray can bought at pep boys . I sanded the area I painted with 400 grit before and sprayed right over that . I came out flawless and has proved to be really durable . The paint is really forgiveable . If ya get it on a little thick , it didnt run , bubble or orange . Dried nice and smooth with a nice satin finish , more on the flat side than shiney .No problems with chipping or peeling after 1 summer with the rear bumper liek that .
