    No in talking to Scotty the sub - frame part may get a couple of improvements and I will get a new version. So that is definitely just getting paint. The bumper is so easy to put on and take off compared to the ARB (6 bolts) that I could PC it at any point. Scotty suggested a certain finish so I am going to wipe it down, prime with etching primer, and coat it with paint this weekend and run it for the summer. Maybe this fall if nothing else is changing I will tear it down and get it powder coated.

    I used mineral spirits. But it does leave a little bit of residue.

    Crazy how dirty the metal was

    I essentially will be doing this. Getting some more sanding pads and acetone.

    Becca I plan to sand down the primer and then give it a textured coat of paint. So no sanding in between paint coats but I will probably do two so it's decent.

    The sand blasting company only charges like $30 to blast the bumpers. Would it be worth it to do that then paint?
