Default Painted tail panel/bumper pics, post em up!

Trying to decide to paint the trunk between the tail lights, or to also paint the bottom of the bumper. Thinking of going with gloss black, but I can't decide if I want to paint the bottom of the bumper as well. Sooo post up what you or anyone else did so I can get an idea and voice opinions! The car is yellow that I will be doing this to.

TIA

Super easy. I just masked off the bumper about 8" in every direction, wiped the section to be painted with a lint free rag and alcohol, then 2 thin coats of Semi-Gloss black from autozone. Ill shoot clear in a few days to seal it.

I might have to try this. I think I would go good with black wheels.

This is off tangent, but HP do you ever get hassled by the cops because of your tinted tails?

Flat black. Taped off, scruffed with sandpaper, wiped down and sprayed a few light coats. 30 mins tops.
