Paint front lip

I am boring this morning, so I decide to paint the lip by myself.
It was black, but I don't like it on a blue car.

Great Job on the DYI painting.

Not my choice of color, I personally believe that the black would had look better, but if you like it, then that's what matter.

That's quite a front license frame -- what's the story on it? Does it protect the front of the car against dings?

Not a big fan of the silver lip... I think the black looks very good against the blue, but I am biased....
