the painting is NOT hard at all. Time consuming, but not hard. I've heard people say that the trick to painting is the prep - and this job convinced me of that.

the bumperettes are all rough and bumpy - if you get down and look at them - they have little bumps all over them - you have to sand all that off. PITA. I did it by hand. If you had some kind of sanding machine it might go much faster. then you prime it - and you start to see how smooth it gets. then you paint. I took my time and spread the steps out over days - to let each step fully dry.

after I did this - I started thinking that painting my center console, or other interior components would NOT be very hard - you just need to set aside the time to do it.

show us the pics of your lower bumper when it's done Crios!!
