No, Not even close....extremely smooth and glossy. Let me install it on the car in couple days and will try better pics. Actually, it is 9PM and I am wiped out from helping the kids with Homework (I would rather paint another bumper) I will take some tomorrow from up close.. this 2K clearcoat is no joke. Check back tomorrow for pics

I hear you man, def try this your self if you are handy. from 1 ~ 5 I would rate this job as a 1.5/5 difficulty. It really isn't hard at all, YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE YOUR TIME....!

As promised, here are some close up outside pics, DO NOTE the bumper is still NOT cured, meaning, the clear coat still hasn't been cured/dried all the way, if I touch it directly I will leave fingerprints on it, when it DOES dry thoroughly it will be EVEN more glossy, not to mention it will be polished..!
**Yes I just realized, I left my hood unlatched, I was adding a quart

And when dealing with vehicle bumpers I like to go top to bottom it seems that left to right always has some unfinished strokes......more so when using spray cans which provide nowhere near the volume of a professional paint gun. That being said, you can have perfectly equal results if you take your time and paint in the right pattern, as you can see. |

Bought a M3 rep bumper last year from ebay (paid $350 shipped), more than happy with the fitment and quality.....better than my mtech rear I purchased from one of the vendors here.

Not sure what happened...I was watching the auction, they had 8 left then all the sudden it was killed. I have emailed them to see what the deal was. How long do you plan on letting the bumper cure before installing on your car? |

I will be posting completed pictures on Monday, the 7th. Sorry for the late date I could had it installed today or tomorrow, but it takes about 1 1/2-2 hrs to put it on and as it stands my plate is overflown with things that have to be done Sometimes I wish I could clone my self and leave one at home when I am away
