You can also take off your bumper and remove that one piece and paint it........but that will take more time.

I saw that on 7thgencivic once, and they thought that i was actually made by Mugen at one point. Never seen it for sale, but it may very well be a genuine Mugen part, rather then painted.

Sweet idea though, I think that would be a really nice subtle change.

And then for type of paint... I would need a professional tool (air brush) or would a spray can still turn out smooth?

Make sure you put a couple of layers of clear coat too after the paint, or else it wont shine.
