Valence and Rear Bumper Guard Painted
Finally got to painting the front valence and rear bumper guard today. Started by taking the valence off and such. Washed 3-4 times in dish washing soap. Scrubbed like crazy with some scotchbrite. Let dry for several minutes to and hour. Then whipped the whole thing down with 91% rubbing alcohol. Let dry again. Then finally went to painting with some duplicolor truck bed lining paint. (the line-x stuff) Put 3 coatings on both pieces. Let dry and bake in sun for 4-5 hours. I just hope this stuff holds well. On ward to the pics!

Well I reckon I can stand a little fading, cause it has needed to be painted for a while! I might get to the fender flares sometime, if I ever get another wildhair to do it lol.

Thanks man. I hope it don't fade much either. I took the Ranger wheeling on a couple of logging trails Wednesday, and there's not a single scratch or scuff down to the grey plastic that was there before I painted it. That stuff holds up pretty dang well.
