PTM Valence?

Picture request for anyone who's painted theirs!
How'd you do it? What'd you use? Is it holding up to rock chips and such?

My whole truck has painted parts except the tailgate handle and valence, but it's black, so I just lived with it.

There's a guys who is or was on here with a whited out Screw, looked good. I'm guessing all you have to do is prep the plastic with plastic adhesion promoter spray then paint. You might have to prime also. If your truck is black then you could even go from promoter to paint with a bumper coating paint. I did on my grille, used dark gray and it looks like I just did it, 2 yrs later.

That's what I guessed. Although, I think I'd like to sand it smooth first. Seems like a total pain in the *** tho...

Booyah!



I took the lower valance off, cleaned it with some dawn dishwashing detergent, rinsed, dried.
Bought 2 cans of the Krylon fusion white paint, followed directions on the can and gave it several light coats of the white.
I have used the krylon fusion black to paint the honeycomb grille as well, and they both seem to be holding up fairly well. I've washed the parts several times, and haven't noticed any chipping in the few months that i have had them on.
I left the rough dot finish on the lower valance, as the sanding seemed like a PITA to do. I figured the rough texture would help deter peeling of the paint.

I have a question! Did you get gloss white, flat white, or the satin white spray paint? Thanks- Ryan
