No I just painted the new parts...but I'm thinking about repainting the hood because it has quite a few chips from bugs and rocks over the years. The paint I think was DB? (I would have to look at the can) it was $100 for just a quart. They told me it was the best they had. I spent about $400 for supplies. The new bumper is urethan, The light covers, skirts and defusers are fiberglass. The bumper came a little rough....I smoothed everything out with 200 grit. Then washed everything down, wiped with wax & grease remover, first I applied an adhesion promotor, then sandable primer...wet sanded to 600 grit, then another layer of promoter, base color, then clear, then wet sanded to 2000 grit and buffed out. I used this process for all the parts. Very time consuming! I was a little scared but every came out great. Over all it was a fun project.
