The previous owner of my 8 had been in a accident which required the rear bumper to be replaced. Rather than painting the lower portion black, he had it all painted Titanium Gray. I thought this was kind of bland, so I painted the "mesh" inset flat black, and I'm really happy with the result. I just taped it off and rattle canned it. Worked out really well, I think.

Before:


After: (forgive the dirty exhaust pipes )

 

^ I like it, I wish my bumper was all silver but I just don't have the funds right now.

 

That looks great! good job

 

Not bad, that black plastic gets all chalky looking after a while. I should paint mine!!!
