Default Thinking about going with hammered paint

So I'm thinking about putting hammered paint on my bumpers. What does CF think about also doing the trim pieces (fenders, etc) with it? How well do you think it would work with plastic?

Also someone suggest the best liner for my interior (roll on/spray, brand) for the price.

Thanks!

I think it would look cool on bumpers, sliders, roof racks, ect. Seen a lot of people talk about doing it but never actually seen it done.

I had my best paint results with the hammered type paint,

when the outside temp was cool, about 55 or 60 I believe,

more gloss anyway.

I got hammered and painted some stuff. It looked like crap once I sobered up.

For the plastic pieces, paint it first using a paint made specifically for plastics and when it is almost dry, paint over it with hammered paint.
