no mine has been painted now for i thinck 6 mouths still looks like when i frist did it.

 

No chipping or peeling here. I evne used the stuff on my mirrors and door handles.

 

I did mine 7 monts ago and it is not chiping or pealing and it sits outside all the time I got it color matched to my truck I wet sanded it with a gray scoch pad dont use a green one or you will have sand marks then I sprayed two coats of adhesion promoter and let dry for 2 hours and then sprayed the paint and let it bake for to days in a hot building and put it on look at the pic in my sig

 

FYI, that piece is factory painted on the sport edition. It is also something like $600 from the dealer (unpainted)...so don't mess it up.

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I would rather do that than create a new one.
I'm planning to do this soon and was wondering if somebody can tell me how much paint I'll need. I want to do both the top and bottom trim.

 

i only used like a half of a can on the bottom piece i would say 2 cans would be more than enough to do the trick

 

I used the black Duplicolor bumper/trim paint. I cleaned, sanded, used the duplicolor adhesion promoter (2 coats), then did about 5/6 coats of black on the gray bumper.

You can see the bottom part is black. This is when I realized the top, stock black, didn't match because it was faded, so I painted that, too.

I also did all the back bumper/trim pieces.


I used almost 2 full cans on the bottom, front bumper. and 1 can of the adhesion promoter.

 

One of these days I'm going to paint mine.
I'm going to use Krylon Fusion though.

 

I don't seem to have much of a back bumper..... a fair percentage of it has returned to the iron oxide it was originally. And there aren't any painted ones (Sport Package, body color bumper) in the yards around here. I don't even wanna consider the price of a 'new' one........

 

I figure I'd post some pics here instead of starting a different thread...
Just did my bumper cover/trim yesterday and today with Satin Black Krylon Fusion spray paint, $6 at Ace Hardware. I just cleaned everything with a rag and all-purpose cleaner, then taped everything off with masking tape & newspaper. Painted a coat, waited a half hour then painted again. I suck spray painting so it's uneven everywhere and I did pretty bad with taping things off so I missed a few small spots, however you can barely notice.
