Can I Sag My Rear Bumper (for paint)?

Hey, you know how all the cool kids sag their pants? I think it'll look cool if I sag my bumper!!




No really, I need to bring it down a little for paint, so in case it sags over time, as I've heard it does, you don't see primer, or the factory color. So is it possible to 'sag' it?

Also, are the front turn signals removable (also for paint)?

Why not just remove the cover and paint it fully? Just a bunch of bolts and clips holding it on.

It would be easier to just remove the bumper, if left on you would have to mask off the entire rear of the car to avoid overspray.

I may not have time to remove the whole thing. I have to drive it to school in the morning, put it in the booth and mask it to shoot and finish before 1:00 or so.

You can get the bumper off the car in less time than it would take to mask the rest of the car. Also, once you "sag" the bumper only good luck will be holding it from falling off.
