Default 1990 crx SI updated my front bumper from OLD to new =) with paint of course.

(Oh and this wasn't meant to perfect.. just nicer and cleaner looking )
ok well i got tired of looking at this old POS on the front of my car so i decided to do something about this weekend. i started off by removing the only 4 bolts/screws holding on the front bumper. I then sanded everything clean and smooth washed it and tried to match the grey on my car as close asi could with spray paint. i then taped it off, after 3 or so coats of silver/grey I painted the grill and inside where the lights go black. i think it looks pretty good and if anyone ever wants to paint plastic black for long term.. i used this paint over 2 years ago on my wifes bumper and it still looks brand new. so i know this paint is good on plastic for long term! just a heads up you don't need to buy plastic paint.
