has anyone painted the bumper covers?

[jacks3am]

has anyone painted the bumper covers and fender flares? i think it would be cool if it was truck bed liner to make it look more rugged. its sonic blue, so does anyone think it would be cool? i cant do it now but maybe in a month or 2

thats been an idea of mine for some time now just haven't had the chance to do it... also debating between bedliner and actual black paint to match my graphics

Had my Bushwackers painted several years ago on my 98. Then took them off and had them painted a different color on my 99. Definitely sets it off

i done the front bumper cover and fender flares a.while ago... im going to do the rear this weekend

its a 1997 expy and walnuts, bedliner i think would look great with the red and black, and thanks to everyone, because every question i ask gets nswered right away! great forum

well my plans include painting the tan and the roll pan and front bumper pad... gonna do the roll pan since I had issues matching the paint since the truck came from TX and was well faded


KWT2000- post some pics when you can i wanna see how it would look on my truck

i had tan bumper pads and fender flares. i painted them all flat black. i am going to take them off and try herculining all of them.

 

[KWT2000]

ill post some pics tomorrow.. i still need to do the door trim i cant decide wheather to mask and paint on the truck or pull them off

 

[nvycrmn]

i just pulled the bottom trim right off. makes it look a little nicer IMO.

 

[KWT2000]

i like the herculiner thought that might be the way to go

 

[nvycrmn]

when i finally do it i will post some pics.

 

[KWT2000]

heres a front shot and a side view i will post a few more when i get the side trim and rear bumper done this week/end

 

[nvycrmn]

you rattle can that and then throw some clear on it? its shiny. looks nice. i rattlecanned mine flat black.

 

[KWT2000]

yep thats what i did i thought the glossy look against the red would look good

 

[walnuts4x4]

looks good... I will be doing it in the spring

 

[dgray69]

i will be doiing mine next summer. i orderedbrand new guns. working on jeep now. but expy will be painted same colors only reverse effects. there are many manfaturers that make plastic paint.. thhesewoork great if you falllow diirects. fne scuff them,( finiish grit) just to remve gloss. be sure to get an even coat of tacker.once this starts to dry you can spray the plastics. as long as every thing has done to prep.ths paint will not splitor flake. when i get home i willtry to post a how to. and materials list. this is not expensive at all. and will save you alot of time in touch ups oh yeah after sanding gloss of original paint be sure to wash plastics well with warm water and dawn dish soap. thhe down will remove more than allcahal will.alsoi reccomend removing plastic and paint all sides.this will avoid peeling later

i painted my mirrors, rear bumper, and sanded and painted the bug deflector...

ohhh and i added a led light bar to the back

Looks great KWT. I'd love to do mine black too, but then these things are gonna look like twins. I think I'm gonna go with turning everything that is tan to red on mine.

 

[KWT2000]

thanks LANE. all red would be clean also
