Pained XL gray front bumper

These bumpers on the base model xl's will chip pretty easily which leads to rust. I've seen many up north that are completely brown. I've repainted mine a few times to keep it rust free. This SEM rattle can matches the color of the 06-08 perfectly. The 2005 bumpers are slightly lighter and that color is also available. I did completely scuff the entire bumper and tried to level out any rock chips, and then wiped it all down with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Other than that, just mask it as I did. I applied 4-5 light coats letting them dry for 5 minutes between. The last pic has a filter on it, giving it a slight purple tint.

I need to do that. Have some stone chips that are rusting from highway driving.
Now it's snowing tonight and way to cold to paint
