On our odyssey's bumper, and it did a pretty good job. You need to use the adhesion promoter, then the primer, then the paint. Go wider than you think you need to. Really.
Good luck.

And it's nice (???--lol) to know that there are lots of us! Just wish it weren't so easy to do!!!

Yes.. any dip or hill, go down at an angle. The distance from the front bumper to both tires when facing forward is further than the distance when turned 45 degrees. Makes sense? So if the length of the bumper is 25" to the wheel, then once your bumper hits the dip, it has 25" to go before the tire rolls on that surface that has scratched your car. But if you turn your car 90 degrees, then the distance from the scratch to your tire is 0 inches. Since the furthest thing from the wheel is the sidewall of the tire. So at 45 degrees, that would give you twice as much scratch headroom. So your bumper would protrude 12.5" rather than the full 25". Typical lowered car will turn at a 25 - 30 degrees angle. You do the calculations.
I had a 1996 Accord EX that was 1.5" off the ground. It scratched when I went through even a small speed bump. The car looked so nice when lowered, but god, I hated driving it!
