So, about a year ago I scuffed my bumper... the left cap to be exact ... several months ago I scuffed another one so I decided to replace both of them but I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for someone to paint the same color as the rest of my truck. So, I decided to use the Dupli-Color. I started with my bumper..... grill

and here the result. Comments are very welcome

And now the hood... then roof, then tonneau cover, tail gate and the rear bumper.

Man, that looks like a lot of work.

I've had off-road wounds on my bumper caps for years. I consider them a badge of honor. That and I'm lousy at painting.

Ironically I was just looking at that paint. I want to do an aftermarket grill I have. Looks as though it came out well. How many coats did it take? Did you prime any of it or just paint over top?

I applied 4 coats to the grill. I didn't not prime it, I used 200 grit sand paper to to create a rough surface for a better adhesion. And then used an Acetone for a final prep.

Thanks. Once it gets warm I'm going to get to work on it.
