    I got a used bumper that has a few scratches and paint chips. It is the stock black bumper. Should I paint it with plasti dip or regular spray paint?

    plasti dip is good for emblems if you do not want to remove them and want the black look now!

    other than that i have no use for it and still have a nearly full can

    Thanks for all the replies. I should note that it's the rear bumper. I'm thinking the bed liner idea

    Im thinking of doing it this weekend with my truck! so advise is to wash them, then stick index cards or a deck of cards between the tire and rim? also since these are silver, would you wanna plasti dip the inside as well or no?

    Have you washed the truck since you sprayed? Does it hold up on the emblems?

No more mud flaps, Temp gauge inside intake box, BHLM, extra D-rings in front of bed, No more plastic storage box behind rear seats. More to come.
    So for prep work... no sanding or buffing or anything? Just a clean surface and spray away? And it will stick just fine?? Looks great

    Does it have a tacky feel or texture or is it smooth like spray paint after it dries completely.
