i did my bumpers in Krylon satin black from a spray can and it looks just
like they came from the factory.






that's right folks..if you properly prep the surface (filling all
chips/cracks and primer and sanding with sandpaper , gradually  changing grit to
finer each time)  and painting them on a sawhorse  when the temp is around
70-80F with low humidity and with a steady sweeping  motion to avoid drips or
runs, you too can get a factory finish out of a spray  can!    ive also
painted grilles and mirrors with krylon satin  black and had the same awesome
results.


of course if you want to do it this time of year you will need a climate
controlled paint booth or garage :)
