Gunmetal

First shots of the new paint. The color is a Toyota silver, used on their Scion xB's. Its a dark metallic, not too far off from Polaris in the right light.

As for the bumper, that started out as a three-piece '73 bumper with the long sides. The guy that is doing the bodywork is a big hot-rod fan, so he's all about shaving off joints and making things smoother. He welded the three sections together and cut the ends of the side pieces to make everything fit better. Unfortunately, I don't have any shots of this process being done. I did tell him that about everyone with a 2002 is going to be asking me where i got this thing, though!
