how many cans did you use bro?
and how many coats did you use?

great job though, looks dope!

 

Wow looks way better with that chrome ring actually.
I'm looking to paint my eclipse front nose a black, just like that.

 

"because I was gonna black out the trim on the bottom of the window"

I've noticed some cars have chrome under windows and some black, is it a US / Canadian difference? or trim level or something? Mine are black from factory.

 

if you have pics post them up please

 

From an 09 lancer standpoint I would recommend using vinyl instead of painting the crome around the nose. After sanding, primer, 5+ coats of paint, and some winter weather it looks like POOOO!! Tried vinyl and never looked back, until cf grill.

 

thanks for all the feedback guys and I got 1 can of paint and 1 of primer and then did 2 coats of each.

 

deleted cause im not so smart =D

 

where does one buy this vinyl...

 

 

vinyl store, local auto stores usually have vinyl tape

 

Well I painted mine today with Flat Black Krylon Rust Tough paint. I'll tell you, taking it off is so much easier to remove the front bumper then to try to leave it attached. Will take pics

 

itds be nice to see a tutorial on how to remove front bumper

 

Well here ya go then...
