getting matching spray paint is easy. you can go to most part stores and get it. You'll need to get the color code off of the sticker inside the door or under the hood I believe. I just got a can and it was $15 for color matched exactly to my truck.

Oh that works then. Cool.

How much different does it look if you touch up a spot? Like from the original being faded?

Im not sure. Im gonna paint the top plastic pieces on my bumpers red so Ive never actully painted a part of the truck. I've done touch up paint when I worked at the chrysler dealership and all those paints matched almost exact. But its a little to cold in wisconsin to be painting so its probably gonna be awhile before they get painted.

Default Bumper

I replaced mine through a scrap yard, got it for $100 and it looks great. What I did is on the inside of the bumper I sanded all of the surface rust off of the backside and then put two layers of rustoleum paint on it before I put the bumper back on just to prevent any rust in the future.

Good luck,

Junie
