bumper in primer, it will be eventually painted "Dark Canyon Red"

grill painted to match

look at all the front tire room now!

 

Sweet
Did you buy the bumper or make it? Just be sure to get a really good paint job- one that the bugs hitting it at 70 MPH wont chip.

 

Its a Smittybilt. I had it on for the last 2 years and it started to rust despite the 10year warranty (wish I had saved that receipt). I originally wanted to paint it to match but I'm finally getting around to do it now

I'm painting it myself. I ground away as much rust as I could get to, then primer, then Duplicolor, then Duplicolor clear. I'm hoping for a year or so more out of it. Then it will truely be a beater

 

Good idea on the clear coat. That helps a LOT. Be sure and post some pics when you're done.

 

Man, I feel like I was just flashed.

 

hahahHAAaa! You looked at my front end!

 

That's a mighty big differential you've got there, Chris.

 

finally after chasing down more and more paint and an employment change...I got the bumper back on. Next comes the nerf bars,,, some day.
Also as you can see the grey inserts in the grill have been painted too. The flat black parts on the mirrors may get painted too. Wiper arms are now marroon also.

 

Looks sweet. Probably gonna make all those guys at that chevy dealership jealous.

 

Actually I spotted the guy that will be working next to me at the car show today...he was wearing a Ford Racing hat and Mustang T-shirt

The truck is filthy except for the bumper, the surrounding sheet metal should match better once everything has some wax on it.

 

Looks really good, Chris! Nice job!!

 

so that came out of a spray can? it looks really good and looks like it is damn near an exact match!

 

off the shelf at Napa, Duplicolor Truck and Van, Dark Canyon Red. And one healthy coat of DupliColor Truck and Van Clear. The color is the same except its a few days old and the rest of the truck color is a few years old...I need a buff, its oxidizing. I'll post a closer matching picture when I wash and wax it. I've still got New England Dragway's parking lot (dust) all over the body.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I can't wait to stuff it in the mud!

 

looks good
