painting "mustang" in rear bumper

Maniak87 · Jun 21, 2007

instead of getting the inserts for the rear bumper cover, i was thinkin about masking off the area and painting it black. i am also going to do the lower area just above the exhaust tips where the oval section is (look at pic for referance)

should i just use a duplicolor rattle can? i think it would come out ok as long as i prep properly (sand the area where i am painting)

what do you guys think?

No... it won't look as well as a professional produced insert. The eye will see imperfection. Get the inserts... only $20 or so...

Def. paint the rear valence, but dont get inserts, pinstripe the outline of the letters, be different, it would look bad ass

Also paint the bottom portion of your bumper O0

My inserts are white to match my top but stainless steel would look really good!

The BlackChrome inserts from SSinserts.com are really nice but cost alot of coin.
