im just using black spray paint with regular clear coat. i plan on getting the whole car repainted pretty soon anyway so im not worried about a little color difference.

It's DONE!!!!!


you can kinda see it in the picture but there's a clear line that separates the two paint colors. i am going to try and solve this by wet sanding with 1000 or possibly 2000 grit and polishing it. i will post pics of the mesh back in and the bumper on the car tomorrow. cant wait to see it in the daylight!!!! . NO MORE . I am officially entirely debadged. the cops wont know what to write on they're tickets lol.

Make sure u do something with the top piece to make it stronger. Mine cracked really quick..it's just way to thin. Looks good though how many hrs did it take you doing it yourself?
