Painted my Center Bumper

Thanks to "MsTrd" for her DIY thread I finally got done with mine. I used her step by step on the process of sanding and prep but I used a few different products because I wanted a textured finish.

>>> MsTRD Thread <<<


So here go's mine...

Products I used plus gray primer (not pictured). The brown paint was only used to get the texture I wanted (very similar to truck bed coating). I used this same paint for my Toyota grille emblem and it has really held up well. It hasn't chipped in over a year so I thought it would work great on the bumper.



Sanding done...No turning back now!



Gray primer on...



Then the brown textured paint...



Flat black paint is on!



All done, still drying in some spots. It turned out good but I should have taped the sides a little better as it is not perfectly straight. Oh well.







Oh BTW I found this moth in my headlight today. Now I have to get that damn thing out!

 

gl with the moth.. haha good job though

 

nice i was just posting how I did this to my truck the other day too

 

i think the moth was an indication for you to do the BHLM thats the only way you can take it out ... put the lights in the oven 300 degrees .. good luck and yeah dont forget to do a write up on "how to take a dead moth out of your headlight" hehe good luck

 

good job on the bumper mod!

as for the moth in the headlight, just take out the headlight, then try to work the moth to the hole where you put the main headlight bulb in. should fall right out. i had that problem with a blade of grass in my headlight.

 

the "mrsTRD thread" link sends you to crutchfield.

Lookin for a new cassette deck huh? haha

 

looks good!

 

lmao nice catch!

 

looks tough man!

 

Looks aggressive.. try some tape on the end of a coat hanger to get the little bugger out.

 

Good job. It definitely looks great from a distance. It has a mean stance.

 

Great work! Looks good.

x2! should work perfectly!

 

Good job

 

I love the way this looks... I'll probably do this eventually. Good job!

 

looks really good! nice job.

 

No No! That won't work! You MUST do the BHLM, that's the only way!

 

you could get the moth out without taking the lights right apart, you will just have to take out the headlight and the bulbs out the back of it, then try and shake the moth out one of the bulb holes.

 

o this has been kinda discussed lol

 

I used Chrix4x4 method! It worked really good. Damn moth sucked right out!
