Hey all, I've owned my 2015 base Veloster for quite some time now and have recently started to get into finally working on it; I came to this absolutely amazing forum for some inspiration and answers and I've clearly found a great community!
I've wanted to start this thread to document my journey on working on my car and most likely ask some questions in the future; feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I am still learning about cars in general, and it's been a great interest of mine so far.
My current plan is to start with painting the center part of my bumper, I was considering bumper swapping for a VT bumper but I already know that will be a crazy expense for someone just getting started into this. So here goes my first question!
I'm assuming that the paint I should be using to paint that part of my bumper is an acrylic enamel paint that I can simply get from AutoZone, somebody correct me if I'm wrong
After that, I plan to install a bumper lip that I confirmed was the correct fitment for the base Veloster and not the VT.
Please let me know if any ideas you'd like to share as well as your experiences!
Super excited to be in this community.

yeah the autozone paint works good I used it on my 95 explorer forest green and fixed up some sun damage on the hood and the hood matched the rest of the car other than the old paint was so faded lol but it looks good and some have the sparkle in it it’s pretty sexy hahaHey all, I've owned my 2015 base Veloster for quite some time now and have recently started to get into finally working on it; I came to this absolutely amazing forum for some inspiration and answers and I've clearly found a great community!
