    hey all, been thinking about blacking out the lower center section my front bumper. from what i have read, the sticker is a PITA. so i'm left with spray paint black or i'm thinking about spray on bedliner. kind of leaning towards the bed liner. give it a more rugged look. anyone done this? post some pics!

    I painted my center bumper with a textured paint. It is very similar to bed liner but it sprays on a lot easier and evenly. I have also used this same paint on my grille emblem and pinch welds and have absolutely no chipping. This stuff holds up well! I am going to use this paint on a few other things that need a good tough/durable paint.

    Here's my how to: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/52134-painted-my-center-bumper.html#post930588

    Rust-Oleum Multi Color Textured Paint (also comes in black)

    The vinyl wasn't really that bad. Took an hour or so. And it's easy to remove if I get tired of it.
