I really want to.

Paint it black of course.

no. i dont even know where to start about that. just, no

I agree. The potential to mess it up is high, and to repair it after messing it up is even higher.

make a stencil, and cut out a piece of matt black vinyl

I am not talking about a messed up job. What if I did not mess up?

Do it, be differant, just tape it up and take your time.

It is a hit or miss kind of project. Haha. Oh well.

why would it look bad? doesnt the sr have that part in black?

Go for it! :thumbsup:

The SR has a different bumper.

Ya I say got for it!

if you wanna do it do it in vinyl first. that way when your done you can take it off if you dont really like it.

you realize that you need to take things into consideration like clear coat, in order to paint it you have to sand through the clear coat to get the paint to stick with out making it run really bad. its a weird cuvature (sp) so it will look different in some lights without a blended clear coat and trust me, it dont matter how good you think you are at spary bombing, you cant blend a clear coat with the stuff. especially on a white car, or blue, or black or that ugly green or any other color it comes in. than there is dust sticking to it if you dont let the paint full dry which is about 24 hours to make darn sure. do you have a garage to do it in? you would have to cover the whole car in a cloth so that you dont get any over spray on anything, if it was a blue or grey cooc you could get away with not but with a white car it could look pretty terrible if any over spray got any where but there. if you really want to play with paint on your car, take it to a bod shop and tell them what you want. get them to give you a quote on how much it would cost. i personally dont think it would cost more than 1000 bucks with paint. but as far as a simple diy, what your thinking about doing could totaly screw your paint job and make you really wish you didnt do it. im not sayin dont do it as much as i mean YOU dont do it. i did a quick photo shop and it looks sorta ok but i can tell its not an SR bumper if thats what your looking to do.

just make sure you are ready for a permanent change that you cant tame back unless you repaint the whole bumper.

I say if you know what you're doing, then go for it.

if you never try you are never going to learn

if you want a body shop to do it, then do it yourself first. if you screw up take it to the body shop and they will fix it for u about the same price as if you dont try

I'd say go for it.Be different,make it your own.
As far as cost ,a local shop that does custom work qouted me $600 to scuff,(the whole car) tape, add two heavy coats of metalic,two-three more coats of clear $900 w/jambs,under hood,and hatch.With the same warranty as $5000 jobs.So the cost to fix it shouldn't be much if you were to mess it up
Good luck

Sheesh nobodies, your such a negative nancy. Lol. I say go for it. And instead of covering the car, why not just remove the bumper and do it in the garage with the car outside?? Bumpers are easy to take off. Lol I would know. Speaking of which I need to take off the front bumper and do some testing to figure out a way to remove all the water stains without having my guy wet sand and buff the whole car.

I agree on all of the above. lol

Working with the bumper off I think will bring better results.

Dont forget to read a how to paint your bumper. Just search for it on the internet.

well then!!! looks like im the out cast on this thread. sheesh. he asked for mtc and i gave it but nooooooooooo. lol

I prefer the all same color look also, but if he wants to give it a shot, he should go for it. If it is done ok it wouldnt look bad.

How do you guys think a Matte paint job would look???
