I've been thinking about painting the lower airdam on my F250 LD to match the rest of the truck. Has anyone done this and do you have a pic? I'm alittle hesitant about doing it, because the possiblility of paint cracking from flexing, or the rock chips.

 

goto Fabtech and check out the f150 2wd suspension section they have a good picture

I did the front lower bumper...used a plastic cleaner first with a scotch brite (this takes the inherent oils out), then used a plastic primer...this is the only type of primer that will adhere to plastic. This also allows the panit to adhere and flex. I did approx. 5 coats of primer using the scotch brite in between each coat. Then applied the color coded base coat paint for my truck. This number comes off the door sticker on your inside driverside door jamb. I did approx. 4 coats. Very lite coats.
Now of course I have a whole new bumper cover that was professionally painted, but the first one was still great. Just decided on something different.
