    I scored this off of eBay to use with the new hybrid bumper.
    Might keep it black, of paint it to match the bumper.
    Any tricks to get steelit paint to bond with plastic?
    If I leave it black do I need to coat it with anything to prevent UV damage?IMG_20200914_135739.jpg

    I'm no pro, but my experiences with painting plastic has been easy to do but, hard to maintain and wash. rock chips and I hand wash, didn't hold up well.

    again, just my experience.

    Still needs to be prepped. Light scuff, primer adhesion promoter. Best ifa paint with a flex additive is used. If gonna use a rattle can. Do the first two steps the use krylon fusion it holds up really well. 3-5 light coats. Good luck!!
