Painted my wiper cowl with Krylon Fusion gloss black, and finally got around to painting my lower bumper grill. I did not have the patience to unbolt the valance and all to access the grill, so I did it the mask off way.

Cowl Before



Cowl After




Masking time

 

Painting time

 

And some results. Heres a before photo ( bummer for my bumper with that plate faded spot )



And here we are all done.



I think it was a pretty good day, little things that make a nice difference. Looks much nicer.

looks good

i need to paint my wiper cowl too

maybe you could try some kind of chrome polish on your poor bumper

 

Yeah it looks pretty sweet. I tried a few polishes and no real luck, might clay bar it.

If I ever hit that deer that I've been wanting to, HD headlamps & grill, 06+ round fog PTM bumper

 

looks good man, big difference on the wiper cowl

 

Thank you!



Heres some pictures as of today, been about 20hrs since painted, and the pieces have been in the sun baking on all day.





Now my wiper arms need painted darker

 

hahaha yeah i feel you

is it bad if i WANT to get in a fender bender sometimes haha

looks real good tho

let us know how the paint holds up

 

I live in the northern mountains of P.A. i'm bound to hit one sometime, just dont want to hit a deer going fast at risk of frame or further serious damage, & I dont have it in me to baseball bat my own truck

"Well, a deer did it! thats right, the bumper and grill & lamps, hood's fine!"

 

Darren, that looks great, in fact, your truck looks great, but I may be a bit biased.

It's amazing how much those cowl panels fade, I broke one over the winter getting ice out from around the wipers and had to replace both so it didn't look ridiculous.
