Default I was bored..............

I was working on my wife's Caravan this weekend doing a brake job on it. New pads, resuraface rotors and new brake shoes.

I was looking at the plastic on the rear bumper on my Dak and realized that it was starting to fade, so i started thinking on what to use to paint it and went to autozone and got a can of


and this is what i did:

Then i said to my self "self, this came out pretty good!

Let's see what else i can do?

So i did this also:

I like the way it came out! Looks goood breaking up the white a little.

What do you think?

I just went under it and use pliers to take the covers off.... There are some type of plastic clamps that you have to squezze to get them off!

It was easy!!

I've got to stop reading these posts, causing way too much work on my truck. That rear bumper and gas fill cover look really nice. Great job!

The next step is going to be the door handles and possibly the mirrors. Not sure about them yet!!
