MY GTI Front bumper plus WICKED turn signals.. - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 03-17-2009, 12:41 PM

I remember seeing a post another made awile back that looked really good. He used some sort of black vinyle and did just the center portion. What you did is the center plus extended to the sides a bit and up to the top of the grill. Which makes it look obviousely painted and not from the factory that way. What kind of prep work did you do before painting? Any sanding or atleast wash away with dish soap to strip any wax. Otherwise you are going to have wicked orange peel or atleast peeling of the paint in the near future. It looks decent from far away. But up close i would like to see more pics. To me vinyl would have been the way to go that way if you change your mind later its not permanent. =)
