    I'm all for helping the helpless, but I don't give a rat's ass about the clueless anymore.

    You never want to paint the whole bumper cover with body color. Any little chip in the black/gray trim will show the body color.

    well I was going to paint my car (led foot) its a flat looking grey. I was going to paint the buckets and the body mid stripe the same color as the car, them accent the GT behind the doors and the indent on the mid stripe black. But your saying never paint the whole bumper??? Why?
