I was kinda liking the silver/grey, but after seeing this. I NEED to do it!

The original color of the mesh was black. It does appear to be simply weathered. If you take a nail to the surface, you'll see that it comes off, revealing the original black behind it.
What did you guys use to clean the surface with so the paint sticks?
I lightly pressure washed mine to get most of the grime off. Then I scrubbed it with steel wool and used a tooth brush to clean out the corners.Quote:

I've never noticed it as a problem on my car. Now I fear it'll bug me after seeing these lol
I think we "sedans" can pop it out without removing the bumper, correct? (he asks hopefully)
I wish. :(Quote:

It's pretty easy to get the bumper off, which makes the job cleaner. Having done it once, I'd probably be able to have it off in less than 10 minutes. If I had the choice between masking and taking the bumper off, I'd still pull the bumper.
