Dave sorry but to me it looks like you are trying to hide some rust damage by covering it with some paint you found in the shed!

Use a gloss metallic gray instead of satin, and these complaints would go away.

FWIW, I find that often the factory will two-tone with the darker color on top. I think it's more tasteful, but I've also considered doing a darker lower coat as well, and with the right color combo, it works.

No sir, I don't like it.

It looks great the way it is....one color.

Thanks for the feedback, point taken. I need to repaint the front bumper again, and I was trying to come up with some new ideas.

Your car looked much better stock dood. This looks like you threw a couple of primered aftermarket bumpers on it after an accident.

Dave I have loved that 91 caprice since you first got it,simply because it was a prestine 91 caprice with a 305.

It is your car and yours alone but now it has the x cop car auction look,and does nothing for me.

I used to be somewhat like you in that I couldn't just leave a car alone. Thats why now I just get black ones,and if I keep them clean,they always look good. bounce

Still a very nice car you have ,look after it. Lorne.

Yeah sorry for the confusion, it's just a (poorly done) photoshop. Unfortunately it's not pristine, and the paint on both bumpers is shot, so I was just brainstorming, since I will have to respray them anyway. But I will be respraying them either matching, or if I do do a two-tone, it will be gunmetal, like this:
