Painted my rear bumper diffuser

I had it painted a metallic gunmetal to be close to my wheel color. Pic sucks but you get the point.

Looks great! Very nice and subtle. Gives the rear a mean look.

Take care

Yup, I did the same thing about a year ago. My body shop mixed the stock DG with black for the look I wanted.

You guys really should consider an overlay before u go out painting your bumpers. Bat makes some...It looks great, quality is great and its reversible. It also costs a lot less.

Reason why I chose to paint vs the overlay is that I know I do not have the patience or skill to make sure the edges line up perfect and I wanted the groove colored as well.

I did mine while I was getting the bumper repaired after some jerk in a strip mall parking lot hit me and ran.
