U-pol Raptor paint over Jimny 3 bumpers and side moldings

My Jimny is colored dark grey ("MET.QUASAR GRAY" color), like this one found on the Internet:



I have an idea to repaint both of its bumpers and all side plastic moldings (wheel arch moldings, side door moldings, sill moldings) with U-Pol Raptor paint in a light grey tone.

The end result should look something like this (in the sense of color tones):



I have not yet seen a picture of a Jimny where only its bumpers and side moldings have been painted with Raptor paint. Does anyone have such a picture? Any comments on how this would turn up? I would not want to "desecrate" the vehicle.

When I get that far I will be raptor coating mine. I have spoken to the technical team and am assured that it will be perfect. Just I will be going body colour not contrasting.

My blue one is quite nice in the paint except for the front bumper corners. I have been thinking this same thing but to put black raptor or something on all the plastic pieces.

I say go for it!

The raptor is great stuff. Easy to apply and looks good. Some time spent on decent prep work is well advised. They do a special sticky primer for plastics that is essential stuff (grip4).

I think the contrasting textures and colours will work well together :-)
