got tired of looking at my dented rear bumper, and i cant build a new one yet

so i decided to sand down the silver bumper, and do it in black bedliner.

so far, i have two coats on and it looks pretty sweet. the lack of shine on it will help hide the big dent im thinking. unless you're up close of course.

seeing how this stuff turns out, if i like it enough, the bottom half of the truck and sliders and bumper will be coated in this.

 

pic of the progress so far. cant get a good one because of the glare


also figured i might as well do it black since my front bumper and sliders are black

 

Do the whole bottom half of the truck. It'll look sick.

 

i plan on it

just need about 10 more cans of the stuff and a lot of time to sand and prep
i hate preping for paint. so time consuming.

 

Which product did you use?

 

^^ x2 especially with white, i was debating doing it to my truck somewhere down the line, my flares/bottom of my truck is starting to get beat up from rocks and crap and that liner would probably help a hell of a lot

 

i think its called plastikote or something
whichever one it is that walmart carries
it was like 7 bucks a can so i couldnt really say no.
i was going to get the gallon of roll on for the awesome texture it'd give me. but they want like 45 bucks for that. so i said screw it.

 

i like it!

sucks when i peeled the tape, it took a bit of the paint near the plastic with it. oh well.

 

also thinking about using this stuff on my tool box...
it needs something badly.

 

the dent is still pretty obvious

 

yeah it is. but still better then before. and the exposed metal where the paint chipped off when i got hit wont be rusting anymore

 

I like the outcome. Were your bumpers painted or chrome before?

 

painted. heres a before shot

 

Does anyone have pics of this in their bedliner? Im thinking about doing this to mine...does it work well?

 

wow... what a dent.lol good cheap save though on the bedliner, its what i'll be doing if that ever happens to one of my bumpers.lol

i like it dude. truck looks great as always. KEEP THE MTR'S THOUGH.

 

all i gotta say is wat a douche $$$

 

who's a douche?

 

Looks pretty good. Bust out the DA sander and get lining the body ASAP

 

i know, i want to do the body bad
i think i might use the roll on stuff for that though... get more texture.

 

looks good, did you try to bang out the dent a bit? looks a lot better with the liner on it though

 

We'll see how things are after I move, I'm planning on doing it before the winter. I'd like to do it this summer. My rockers and door bottoms are beginning to rust thanks to Ontario winters.

 

yeah lol, no luck
im sure i could have done better if i took the bumper off, but i was a bit too lazy for that. and its not really worth it considering this will be gone in a few months. i just wanted something to hold me over till i build my rear bumper

 

i am really thinking of line x or roll on bed liner for my rocker panels. I am sick of this gay ****ing macco paint. Hell I might just do the whole truck. lol

 

Looks alright. Should have gone with the Herucliner. Its a roll on and is like $20 bucks a quart. Just did my front bumper and valance. It would look a lot better imo.

 

You could always take your bumper off and try and bang it back out again a bit.
