Yeah it's just harder cause the plastic can leave burrs.

Thanks! I have Smoked Amber corners on the way, so these are just temporary
I only ordered two 8 oz. cans of paint to touch up the bumper and trunk lid. I'll be starting on the front bumper today. And the trunk lid tomorrow or the next day.

Wet sanded the primer with 400 grit
All masked up
after four coats of paint:
Here you can see the lines from the masking :/
Going to go back tomorrow and wet sand the lines with 400 grit again to try and blend it better. wish me luck.

Ah what a relief
Thanks! I also sprayed the license plate garnish, but it doesn't match the paint on the trunk because the paint on the trunk is faded :/
So I'm going to stickerbomb it. I like how it looks on White EG's.

Did some late-night sanding to try and blend the lines.
It worked somewhat.
Also, my license plate holder that will be sticker bombed.
Well, the blending is better than it was, so I'll leave it for now.

Went back and masked up again. Feathered the paint this time. Then, went back and wet-sanded everything with 500 grit. Turned out pretty good.
Might go back later and paint the rest of the bumper, but I'd need to order more paint. Also, I lost the screw that attaches the bumper to the quarter panel. So, of course, I used a zip tie!
