Last weekend i painted the fender flares on my truck. Linky

Today i did a few things.

As it rolled into the shop.


Step 1: Remove bumper


Step 2: Wash Bumper


Step 3: Mask Bumper




Step 4: Paint Bumper to match flares




Step 5: Tow Hooks






Step 6: Skid Plate

 

Now you just have to put your old hooks on my truck and you will be done.

 

i would have unbolted the valence from the bumper if it were me. Looks great!! now trim that valence to fit the hooks and bam!

 

YOU can put my old hooks on your truck. Lazy bastard.

 

Thanks!

I am hoping i won't have to trim

 

Gee thanks.

 

Bumper looks better, now get pictures with it mounted.

 

I painted it at the shop i work at. i am going in early tomorrow and putting it on first thing. Will have pics tomorrow evening, or maybe at lunchtime.

 

The only grey thing left on the exterior is the pad on top of the back bumper. I am thinking it is not worth messing with. Those things are a royal PITA to take off. Should I?

 

Installed, and i didn't have to cut anything

 

Looks great. I love those tow hooks.

 

Thanks, I am very pleased with it.

 

yeah man new black ftw lol faded black ftmfl

 

LOOKS GOOD BRO. DID YOU USE AN ADHESION PROMOTER (LIKE BULLDOG) ?

 

Nope, The paint i used is specifically for automotive exterior plastic, no primer or adhesion promoter necessary.

 

Hey wat are ou going to do wih your other hooks i am in ga and would love to take them off your hands

that looks sweet

 

can u tell me the type of paint and what all you used?

 

Where can you get that plastic paint or whatever it is? I have always wanted my valance and trim to be black and not that gray color...

 

The paint used (i picked it up at a local auto paint store) and the prep work i did was using a degreasing cleaner (B52 for me) and a brush to give the paint a clean surface to stick to. You could also use Krylon Fusion, much cheaper.

 

Looks good.

As far as the step pad on the back goes, why not do the same thing you did with the front? Tape off the bumper, and paint the pad black?

 

Looks great, thinking of doing this to my valance as well.

 

your truck looks great man, nice job
