Haha i know i was lazy. Won't so that again.

But I got a question, how will this paint stand up against bumpers? I'm thinking of painting the lower center area of the rear bumper. Just want to get people opinions on that. Would it work just as good on paint?

I'm sure it would be just fine on the rear bumper. I think this is a popular way to paint your roof black if you have a different color other than black.

You could also look into vinyls.

Just got done with the grill and center bumper. It came out better than expected!! I appreciate the help, and yes, i will not be lazy anymore. Actually, ill search a little better next time. So much better than spray paint. Insist I knew about this a long time ago. Very happy!

I ended up not being lazy and looking at the DIY that sakataj sent me. I used the plastidip and it was the ****! I mean, the quality of it loooks great as well as the durability. I will post pics but I want to get my coilover in (Megan LV) from a member here first. I also bought a fender/mirror from "Chin" on this forum. So I want everything to be perfect before I show pics. But trust me, the PLASTIDIP is well worth it and if you just do it right, it looks sexy. I used to work for toyota, so I am trying to find an emblem to replace the "Lexus" and it will look just like the STATUS grill.

Ill have a "fake" STATUS grill, and a "fake" Junction Produce taillights with the DIY of changing the lenses. THANKS TO SATAKAJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
