Has anyone painted the unpainted part on the front of the car?

For me, I used plasti-dip because I didn't want to permanently paint the area. With PD, you can simply peel it off, and your paint is still good underneath. And it pretty much acts like a rock chip protectant.

Plasti-dip looks good, but its hard to maintain IMO. The rubberized texture is prone to grab road debris. It would have been alot better if it actually had a hardened plastic texture..

I did the same thing, shaved the emblem off myself and used the duplicolor bumper paint. Did you paint the lower black lip as well? I wanted everything to be the same, so I did as well.

Thanx frankiago I took my time with it.
And drastic I did paint everything I wanted it all to match. I'm going to paint it with the bumper coater when it starts to wear if it ever does

My car is a MR Touring, which comes with a chrome frame and grey front piece. I had those pieces piece painted matte black, the mesh grill painted gloss black and the star MR chrome red:
