front end paint
Good way to bring out the front off your truck is to have the top bumper piece and lower valence painted the same color of the truck. I just pulled mine off today and it went to the body shop. also is painting some rear french cut tail light covers. I'll post pics when I get it back and installed.

the factory universal victory red from Carquest..


not that hard to do you'll just need steel wool, and elbow grease..




take the steel wool, and knock down and rough up all the area that is going to be painted, then primer (with an etching primer that has hardener), and then paint, then clear.

I made the mistake and forgot to tell my dad about the etching primer, so we're gonna have to redo the top sometime next spring.

That it. The top part of my bumper came from the factory painted. the lower is now being done. I'll see it the first part of the week and try to get pics posted
