Re: Has anyone painted their ft lower bumper on a 05?
Thanks, would you use adhesion promoter and/or flex agent? Honestly I plan on doing mine with spray cans with the dupicolor matching paint. I help a friend do a grill for his S10 that turned out really nice. But it didnt have the texture and wasnt as big either.

Re: Has anyone painted their ft lower bumper on a 05?
i have. my truck is a 06 1500 w/t, i hated the front and back bumpers,so i painted the back, the 2 front pieces and thhe pieces in between the headlights, debating on painting my tow mirrors, i wanted a HD, but didnt want to pay for gas ALL the time, haha, so idressed mine up like one with 3inch body lift, key lift, rear blocks, i say yes tho to painting it, looks so much better. its alot of sanding if you want a smooth surface,i just kept it textured

Re: Has anyone painted their ft lower bumper on a 05?
Did your truck come with that Red pinstripe or did you buy it somewhere? It looks good with the chrome across the lower panel!!

Re: Has anyone painted their ft lower bumper on a 05?
I think it may have came from the factory like this, otherwise not sure how they blacked it all out. I have a couple chips in the grill and bumper that I would like to touch up and would also like to know a good paint to use...

Re: Has anyone painted their ft lower bumper on a 05?
I would go to a body shop and see if they will scan the paint and mix you up a small touch up bottle. A regular paint shop will make you buy at least a pint.

Looks more like primer than paint. I like the looks of the truck tho.
