Bumber painting? and hood?

My hood is filled with rock (look like boulder) chips and I was thinking of fixing them and just leaving the whole hood primer cause I am not going to pay to paint it until I can do the whole car. How will this look do you think? crappy or not so bad?

Also, what about painting my bumper? What paint should I use? And what steps should I take? I want to paint my bumpers black just to get rid of the faded grey and make them look better. Thanks!

who cares! literally! all that matters is you. so let me ask you this...which will bother you more? rock chips....or primer?

i have seen many cars that were primered and then had some sort of graphics airbrushed on. so, to some people....primers is beautiful.

go for what you know....

Holy shit! 29.99 for some matching shit! I think I will try to maybe go fake carbon fiber on the center. Or possibly pepboys will have some "close enough" shit.

Dontcha just love room-mates?

So, I took off my hood when I installed my fiberglass Cervini's hood, and put the old one in my garage... In my garage, I've got a pool table and a dart-board. The other day, this chick that lives with me was in a pissy mood, so she went out to the garage and was chucking darts at the dartboard really hard. Problem is: she SUCKS at darts even when she's in a good mood, and now I've got about 7 bigass dings in my old hood. I was planning on selling it, but now it's all dinged up
