JDM bumpers should never, ever be fully painted in my opinion, it looks terrible. If anything, they should be painted like they were from the factory. In my case, the upper-most portion should be gloss black, that said they are a textured plastic and sometimes painting a textured finish can result in the paint flaking off if not done 100% correctly. I do have faith that it could be done right, but since the car is black anyway I thought I'd put them on like this and see how I felt.

I may still paint them yet, I haven't completely decided, but I am leaning towards getting them painted. Probably. Just not sure, haha.

My uncle is really excited, maybe I should sell the car back to him, lol.
