to paint or not to paint

[hiluxman]

i have got a 135t330 lwb/mr im contemplating haveing it colour coded, wing mirrors, bumpers. Has anyone got any pics of theirs to help me decide?

[TIMO]

I did my bumpers ,,not the mirrors though what colour is yours

[hiluxman]

I like that

mines white too, I like the look of them all painted the same with the grill bits left black.

i think it finishes them off nicely - the only thing that puts me off a little is that when i come to sell someone might think ive done it because its been damaged.

Have you had any probs with the paint on the bumpers ie easily scratched or flaking?

Done properly it's not different to the paint on the metal work.

Important thing is to use a good plastic primer.

To me that looks like you just couldn't be bothered to mask it off
