Just curious. How often have you had to re-do the job due to nicks, chips, etc? Thanks.

For those who blacked out their fangs.

I messed up painting it soo many time I got up to maybe around 8 layers of paint on it. lol. I messed up because it didnt come out even. I got no chip or anything, it still look like the same since the last time I paint it. Still need to do the clear coat.

Yeah, I've done mine twice and it's bugging the sh1t out of me that I need to do it again already. I'm considering going with CF.

Never. I did mine about 2 months ago and its held up like a champ. Its my daily driver and ive put about 2000 miles on it since i did it. And i dont take any special precautions on the road, like extra distance between other cars. Ive gotten a few nicks on the factory painted part of the bumper in this time frame, but none on the fang area.

I would think the best solution would be purchasing a bumper without paint and just leaving that portion unpainted. Other than that you could go with one of the carbon fiber setups.

I just checked out your albums. Your overlays actually look pretty good. Did you do that yourself?

try Duplicolor engine enamel matte black paint. i used this stuff on my Honda's fog lamp surround pieces 3yrs ago and it's still scratchless (through 2 snow/salt seasons).
and it's supers easy to get a nice matte even finish. |

Has anyone ever done anything different with the fangs on a black car? Like gunmetal, carbon fiber, or something?
