Red and Whites.....it's like USA in a bottle.

 

did my front plasticks as well, I used Krylon Fusion.
I did 2 coats normal and last coat really vet - looks very glossy and smooth - like new car paint. I used black engine enamel and clear coat on the bumper - to try to lessen chiping - looks better then the sert of the car...lol

I also sanded off all the texture that plastic had to make it all smooth

 

that must have been quite a bit of sanding!!

 

So I did this to my back bumper yesterday and today. It was a little bit of a chore but not much. (More of a pain because I live in an apt. so my workspace is limited.) I removed the end caps, the bumper (shroud is held on by only 2 bolts), and the plastic spacer that covers the area between the bumper and the back door frame. I also removed the knobby step plate from the bumper and the rear step. I cleaned everything well, wiped it with alcohol, and started spraying as outlined earlier in the post. It all came out very well. I will add that I sealed everything well with some hard shell turtle wax (3-4 coats depending on what part I was working on). Thanks for the great suggestion for this. I plan to do my front end very soon. Alas I have no photos of my little restoration project as my camera crapped out on me. Again, great thread!

 

figured I'd post the first of several refreshers. Here's a before and after from today

 

Looks great

 

FYI, that forever black stuff really doesn't work... tomorrow is door handles and various other trim pieces, still need help with post on fog light trim removal

 

Well done sir! I'm doing the same only in just re-painting the color matched portions with duplicolor bed armor to match my fender flares. Yours looks like new though!

 

Snuck back out to the garage and pulled all four door cards. Simple to remove and speakers easy out too but upgrading audio is another day project! Door panels will get redone but it seems that the alcantara piece is glued in. I may try to pry it off to recover it.. I will be redoing the headliner in charcoal gray alcantara to match the doors not a fan of contrasting cream pillars and headliner. Second row seats getting yanked out tomorrow as well, more room for the dogs. Brush bar coming next week but now not sure since front looks better. Lighting getting full LED treatment, pulled the big orb cup holders, and going to fab a built in for the Garmin nav unit below climate control next the lighter to clean up center console. Normally I would do the double din head unit but....

 

Looks great - oh, and the LR ain't too bad either. Cool Budweiser hmmm excellent
