I used wrinkle black paint from auto zone..

Looks great. Just sand out the imperfections and scraps. Hit it with a couple coats of the wrinkle black. Looks brand new.

Look in the "what did you do for your terminator" thread. Somebody just redid theirs. It's within the last couple of pages of the thread. Looks great

The duplicolor bumper paint was not flexible despite what the can said.
So resanded and painted with Krylon Fusion Satin Black for plastic which I have used in the past.

It looks fine but I want a more durable finish.

It's amazing how scratches show up just from driving.

Looks okay but I drive down the highway and I check and there might be a scratch from just a rock hit because the plastic is so soft I was looking for something that was going to be hard enough to finish
