Truck bed coating on bumpers

[Phillip Klingensmith]

so i wanted to get rid of the faded gray plastics, i had went with the plasti dip on the front grill and light covers but it didn't turn out that great. so i was looking into bed liners and went to harbor freight and got 7 cans of this stuff which adds up to a gallon of the same coverage. i started on the back sides and bumper they were the easier parts to take off and after testing some on the inside to the bumper i decided that this stuff will look great and hold up pretty good. i've had my X for a few months and just now having some free time to get out in the woods by my house and if i have enough left i will be going the body line with this stuff ( CaptainMorgan_SOS) after i saw your paint job that is what i wanted to do

BEFORE pics. working more on it today.

1 question tho does the door molding strips just pull off or is it glued on or should i just paint them( i might just paint them )

They are 3M taped on.. once you pull them off you will never get them back on the same...


Good luck with your project

ok so right now I am letting the last pc dry (light covers) it turned out great for a few hours of work. the longest part was getting that plasti dip off PITA. I will be doing the sides soon maybe tomorrow if I have time

so i got all the plastics done they look a lot better then my cell pics. i also did my light covers to match. my next thing to do is take my hitch to work and sandblast it and make it look better than what it is
