colour coding/ painting bumpers

[nath 129]

Ok, im thinking of getting my facelift e30 bumpers painted body colour (the top and bottom of bumper only, not the 'rubbing strip')

is this change worth the hassle?

if i also painted the chrome window trim black, it would eventually chip off and look krap, right?

to what extent would one colour code a white e30?

Take the chrom off, sand it with progessively finer sandpaper so the paint has something to grip onto.

I'd got to town and colour code everything.

Saweet i mite just do that.... should look good. but im thinking i wont get the black skirtish bits painted... it will change the visual shape of the car wont it?

Yes, your car will magically morph into looking like a piece of domestic whiteware. Most likely a fridge.
