when i built these last year, i rattle canned them with industrial spray paint. as you can see, the paint did not survive the winter very well. i am probly gonna have them sand blasted and powder coated this spring or summer.

so, what color should i have them done in? im thinkin of goin back grey again, but a lil darker shade to better match the flares and bed rail caps.

whachya think?

Yeah man a darker grey would definitly go with your flairs and such. Id do it.

I would paint them green like the truck!

Go with the darker grey for sure. It'll look nice matched to the flares and bed rails.

coolpeoplswillis 03-08-2007 03:57 PM

either color match them to your truck or to your fender flairs

SouthernMudSlinger 03-08-2007 04:22 PM

either darker gray or black....cant decide. lol

lifted97ranger 03-08-2007 04:42 PM

03SonicEdge 03-08-2007 04:55 PM

ScottG 03-08-2007 05:01 PM

Trigger01 03-08-2007 06:10 PM

Ok how about you have the fenders and bumpers painted body color. You can kill two birds with one stone and have a respectable looking truck again.

^ he has his old fenders on the truck so that he doesnt ruin his color matched ones offroading...

actually those are Mazada B Series fenders on that..........

jtslmn720 03-08-2007 07:48 PM

ouch, my truck is not respectable with white fenders/grille? :atear:

i dont want to paint the bumpers and worry about chips/scratching that will rust again. powdercoat will handle the abuse i give these bumpers alot better than paint. i also think if i color matched them to the truck they might blend in too much and look like i dont have any bumpers at all.
