Finally got around to painting the bumpers. I have a new grille in the mail, but I decided not to wait on the bumpers. I think I will do the Expedition emblems as well, but ran out of time this weekend.

Lookin good! Now just get rid of that chrome grill surround!!! :signs8:

Haha I know right, the one that is in the mail should be all black. If for whatever reason it isn't, I will plasti-dip that too...

Rocky, yes I used plasti-dip. We will see how it holds up, I may have to use a heavier duty product.

That's the best thing about the plasti dip, you can peel it off if you get tired of it!
FYI: I just saw Plasti dip and the glossifier for it at Walmart yesterday for $7 per can of each (in Ohio, anyway)
Looks good!

Well I was driving on some dirt roads today for about 30 miles or so (see new sig pic) and the plasti dip on the bumpers seems to have held up alright. The edges of the bumper in the direct line of the tires got chipped, but it is certainly not bad enough that I need to repaint it. So far it is holding up well.

I've seen the gloss before and really wasn't super impressed with it. Kinda made the paint look more greasy than really a gloss
