if you want something between a gloss and matt, then look for a satin finish.... that's what it was on my old vn

well thought i would update, i have recently painted my bumpers.....mods to come by feb next year...lower. exhaust. wheels. tint, should b good

too late now, but unless your bumpers are really faded, then all you need to do is regulary apply some silicane shine to them.If you use a good quality product, it last's quite a while.Whatever you do, don't go removing the side strips like people have been telling you, it looks stupid, and takes away the car's originality. De-badging can look alright, but IMO, is only really suited to car's with colour coded bumpers. Keep it original i reckon, keep it looking tuff, there's no need to go around just pulling random bits of the body off here and there..

Nice car btw

i used spray paint but sanded the bumpers back with 1000 grit then sprayed plastic-kote primer on it then jsut matte black spray paint, (Dont go cheapo spray or it will look cheapo lol), i also did the bit under my doors as it was charcoal aswell, paint your washer bottle and overflow matte black, do ur petrol tank straps black, and the tank itself silver, itl come up nice, but stll not a bad car ill post some pics of my mates, looks verrry similar to yours its white slammed on ceptors, just so u get an idea of how it will look

 

[vn_v6]

slamm it

this is my mates bt1style vn slammed on ceptors, theese arent normal ceptors their the 7 inch wide ones, thats why they look so fat , and the red one is mine after i did the bumpers, blac looks so much better

 

[lachie]

nice man, where do u get the 7 inch ones? i want some haha
