That looks great, dude! I like.
I'd leave the bumpers that colour. It's a good contrast against the black, and goes good with the chrome. If they were any other colour I'd say paint em.
Maybe go gloss black on the rims?

for all of you 90-ish cherokee laredo owners .. red w/ grey lower panels .. theres hundreds of em in colorado
Milano Red can spray paint is almost a perfect match .. all auto stores have it .. Auto Touch Up brand or something
just did passenger door, clear coat came off, little by little whole door was lookin ugly after 2 years of owning it
$10 for 2 cans .. 1 milano red, 1 clear coat .. looks good for the price

What kind of paint did you use? I mean was it a urethane base, enamel, did you want flat black? Did you paint the door jams and under the hood also? I just know that is the hardest thing with changing colors. It looks pretty good for a first time drive way job. There are a few thin spots but all in all pretty good. What size compressor were you using? thin spots usually come from the compressor not being able to catch up to the gun. And you have already learned this but never wipe wet paint a run is very easy to fix bit that wipe took alot more time. I have worked in a paint & body shop that my Uncle owns so I have been doing P & B on & off now for 4 years and I still can't find the time to do my own?

paint looks awesome. i did my whole jeep satin black but it was just a rattle can job. i also painted my rims black though and they're the same ones as you have and it looks sick as hell. but ya paint looks great, a little prettier than mine but mine is always covered in mud anyway so it doesn't really matter lol
