    I know I said I was almost done but fuck it... I'm not. I'm thinking of Rhino Lining the lower part of my bumper and wanted to get your guys opinion.

    My truck as it sits now

    Rough Idea of what it would look like painted

    What do you guys think? Yes? No?

    Thanks for your input​

    I like the look. I would plastidip it. That way you dont hurt your resale value and if you ever want to go back you can.

    Dude, your truck looks great as it is. Painting the lower valence would tie in well. Either way its a win

    I think it turned out pretty well. I'll give it a month or so to see if I want to make it permanent.

    My black fog lights would go better with your truck though. What did you paint your grille with, it came out looking nice!

    not so low
    A whole lot,But not satify
    I think it look great if you can continue from the grille all the way down. Now you got darker grille and Lower Bumper dark. There are white space between the Grille and the lower bumper( it's behind the light bars) You see what I saw ?

    Grill was painted with "Speedliner". I usually just say Rhino Liner because everyone knows what that is and this is essentially the same product. When me and 3 of the guys I work with on the fire dept were painting we bought into this company and sprayed truck beds. Once I started making enough money I got out of the business because painting sucks balls. Anyway I still have a bunch of gallons of the stuff in my garage so when I (or a friend) needs some stuff done I just line up everything at once because it sets pretty fast. The nice thing about this stuff is I can use it with my HVLP and tint it to whatever color I want. I usually just go black. I can change the texture with the gun and how far I hold it from the surface being painted. It lasts forever and doesn't fade. I've been really happy with the results. I just used it on my BHLM yesterday to match my grill. If I keep the lower valance I'll spray it with the same stuff. If I have enough time I might spray my back bumper this weekend because I HATE the chrome bumper.

    True

    I kind of like the contrast between the white bumper and the black PIAA lights. Something to think about though. Thanks for the idea.
