Default Another painted lower bumper

So I finally gave it a shot and man does it look good. I decided to go with duplicolor bumper paint. Corvettes should have came like this from the factory!
I also have to thank 1REDZED for all the advice he gave me. Foil wrap on the exhaust tips was one of his great ideas.

Very nice job you did. The tin foil for the exhaust was a great idea.

I don't care how much tin foil you use, you'll never keep out all of those alien transmissions!

Nice job on the paint though!
