Hey im a prelude driver, and im doin a paint job on my car in like 2 weeks (im doin it myself, in my schools shop) and was debating weather or not i should paint my black bumpers white....what i was orignally thinking was paiting them white and the side moldings white, and then where the little chrome ring that goes around the car, paint that black...you should be able to see from the picture in my sig.

well what do you think? paint em? or leave em black....oh and im just gonna sell it after the paint job too

ALL white.. no black except tint and tires! haha.. actually.. paint the grey 'eyelids', grill, and license plate framing crap black... then spray your corners and tail lights with nightshades... itll look mad ncie and clean

When I painted my car, I painted it exactly the way you're describing. It looks so much cleaner that way! I would definately say go for it, although if you'll be selling it after you paint it it might not be worth going through all the work.

i wouldn't mind having mine painted in a more metallic blue color. i just like metallic blue, don't know why. though i do like the idea of an all white job. if i had a body kit then the blue it may look better than the paint job and no kit. i don't know.

What chub said. That would give the car a really clean newer look to it. Good luck!
