Weekend's worth of work

vipernick913 · 07-16-2012, 12:10 AM

Hey guys. I never really posted much on these forums. Was always much of a lurker for ideas. But this weekend, I did a small DIY project on the front bumper of my car to clear it off all the rock chips from everyday driving and also gave the baby a detail wash and wax. So just wanted to share my before and after pictures with you guys. Hope you guys enjoy!! Sorry for the clarity of the pictures guys. It was dark and just took them with an iphone 4s. Oh and I also painted the front chrome to black as well. Personally never really liked the chrome to begin with.

Opinions welcome!!!

Before it all began.

Final Product

And finally the picture of my vicious dog

Nice paint! Need more low! It would be very clean with a set of sportlines with those rims.

There was really no DIY. I just made up my own just by going to with what I knew. I went and bought bondo, made it into paste and spread it over the rock chips. And I sanded the living hell out to even out the surface and I have the paint zoom thing which I used to paint the black and clear coat to finish the project. Was lot risky, but I feel like it gave decent outcome.

Thanks. Never really looked into lowering the car because I didn't have any idea to begin with. But will look into it.
