Question How To: Paint middle bumper??

Ive seen the thread on it already but i went out today looking for the flat black dupli color bumper paint and all i came across was dupli color bumper coating. the color of the coating is flat black also but will it work the same as the bumper paint? im not 100% if there even is "bumper paint" but someone please help. i need to get this down soon. thanks

Go vinyl bro. Easier, cheap, long lasting, reversible, looks damn good.

It's the same thing. Whoever told you bumper paint was referring to the bumper cover because that's the only Dupli bumper paint/cover that exists.

Yeah these are XXRs 518s. no worries man youre young. money on cars is really a waste of money, but we need a way to relieve stress. just dont go over board and break the bank. yeah M/T is the only way to go. esp since M/T makes an exhaust sound so much better

yea i just got those last week, i love them. yea i hear ya. it is a way to break the bank but i gotta make my ride look nice since im gonna have it for a long time. i kinda regret not getting the M/T but at the same time i live in a snowy place so it is a little easier for me. im also thinking getting an exhaust but i have an auto so i dont want it to sound bad. oh well, ill get it all figured out.
