Painting my E92 front mesh
Hello everyone!
I've been a member for a yr but i'm finally trying to be abit more active in this whole thing. SO its still new to me anyways.. i wanted to share some of my work. May not be much to you other bimmer lovers. Basically I did alittle project on my 335i coupe. I've decided to paint the bottom mesh of my front bumper since the upper grill was changed to black and it just look a bit off having the bottom silver/gray. Took me several hrs! rolling on the ground. BUT, I must brag abit bc the entire project was completed by a girl & was done solo hehee alright enough with the gum flapping.. here are some pics. This is the after math.. Although i was hoping for it to be much more darker. But, its a lot better then before. I'm looking forward on doing a few more project soon! Possibly applying vinyl over the aluminum brush trim around the windows. I'm open for tips & feed backs! thanks |

thanks for all the positive response!
but yes! i had to remove the entire front bumber to get to the bottom mesh. I wish there was an easier WAY but it is what it is.. but yeah i just order my vinyl stips and from what i heard it gunna be very tricky to apply, but ive been saving up may patient for this project. i'll keep everyone posted along with pics of my step by step process of applying it. |

Nice introduction handygirl Are you worry about rock chip later on?
I am super impressed May I ask "what does your family thinks when they see you take apart your nice BMW"?
