Yeah, I cheated..
....Had to have a new nose (and hood) installed. Had them mask and just not paint the fang area. The bumper material is a matte black plastic. No worries about chipping. If it doesn't weather well I'll just overlay it. May do the same thing on the back valence area when the parts are in to fix that end..Just got the car back. I like it!
(yeh, I know..The hood latches need adjusting! Done after these pics!)
