CaptAlex300E:
I have seen some 300e's with painted bumpers, and they look very clean. However, paint fades, needs polishing and waxing, and scratches or rock dings let the original color show through and give a crater effect to the bumper. My 88 Acura had the old front bumper re-painted after an accident. After 5 years of following sand and gravel trucks out to the freeway, it looks like a bad case of teen acne! Personally, I would just keep using the B2B. If I were really brave, I might try the "Forever Black" dye that Performance sells, but I haven't found anyone who has actually used it before.
