    I would paint it all black, isn't it going to rust if you don't paint it? lol

    Bumper looks awesome on the truck, we need to see some lights on there :thumbsup:

    yeah thats what i was thinking.... ill paint it black this weekend probably.

    i have 2 lights! just need one more):

    yeah its a bad ass bumper!!! built strong with amazing welds with good penetration, with a great design!

    brandon at avid off road has amazing customer service, he helped me put it on cause i cant with my arm...

    hes really nice, actually listens to your ideas and builds you exactly what you want plus even more! like the shackles were just a idea of his, i never even thought about them!

    i suggest anyone that wants anything done to contact him hes a really great person to work with.

    you can do about 1 can for 1 coat and i would do atleast a 2 coats of primer and paint maybe more so it will be more resilient to pinstripage
