Who painted the black front area silver

There was a post a while back about someone making their CL more aggressive looking by painting the black area between the driving lamps silver (body color).

I was thinking about possibly doing this and trying to find this thread/person for pictures.

Yeah, I can't see the picture! I was just wondering where he masked the area.

Thanks for the tip on the WalMart silver! Three coats and it looks good, can't wait to try it!

Yeah, I had my bumper painted at M2 Collission which is the Acura authorized body shop in Santa Monica. They used factory Acura paint, and it matches perfect and looks awesome.

that's really funny I'm reading this post.

THis morning I woke up and decided I wanted to paint the bumper. Been doing it all day. So far I have four coats of paint and two coats of clear coat. Waiting to put the third coat on and I think I'm done for the night.

The spray paint I used was purchased online at this place call "Tower Paint". You basically give them your paint code (found on the side of your drivers door) and they custom make the paint to match the manufacturer's color.

I did this for my old Integra (Silver Vogue Metallic) and I figured I'd use the same paint. The color so far has been a pretty good match.

I will post pics later tonight...if not tomorrow (depending if I want to go drinking tonight or not)
