Been there, done that.
Lol, but it looks awesome.
Don't paint your steering wheel like I did when I was younger.

That's all the pics I took for now, lost sunlight pretty quick. I'll grab a few in the morning with better light.

Thanks guys, I like it alot. And it was pretty easy with the 2-n-1 bottle that has the pen with the brush. I used the pen. Shake the bottle, remove the orange insert and draw on a piece of paper a little bit and press down to get the paint flowing. Then as you press down on the bumper, the paint flows out on it's own slightly and almost fills each letter in with the paint. I messed up a little at the beginning, but once I got the hang of it, it worked great and was pretty quick and mess free.
I wouldn't recommend using the brush unless you have a very steady hand, it was too hard to not drag parts of the brush on surfaces I didn't want painted.

Awesome look. I am inspired to paint mine. Like those rims too, how about a full car shot when you get a chance?

Very cool, I something similar but I used a different type of
touch up paint , probably paid more but looked about the same
