If you don't have a finish color yet, look at Duplicolor bumper paint. I've used it on all the sets I've done and the finish is very nice.

Thin coats!
Hey Chris, that Duplicolor bumper paint would be the Duplicolor bumper coating found here correct?

Yep, that's it Chris. I've been using Duplicolor sandable primer for the base coats but you can use any primer.

Ok this is gorgeous, this is exactly the way I pictured they should look from the factory.

Do you have any more pics perhaps from a further distance? Good work bud, those look beautiful!
