does anyone have pics of there bumpers and grilles after a diy paint or coating job.
First off, what color is your truck? Some factory colors you won't be able to achieve a 100% match with powder coat.

I was just informing Ben D. about the new technologies that allow the powder coating of plastics, i didn't mean to try and powder coat the grill shell
