I wish I would of painted all the suspension and undercarriage parts before I installed the lift kit; but I was too excited to get the kit on and make sure those 34's were going to fit. Well, now I finally got the time to do it, and well I wanted to show you all as well. I've seen a few post about "what to paint my underbody with" or something of that nature. Here's another write up by me: :p What Is Exactly Needed: I used a truck bed coating for the painting, but you can use anything such as just black spray paint, rustoleum, undercoating, POR15, or you can expensive and get it powdercoated :thumbsup: :thumbsup: You will also need something to tape up such things as your differential cover (unless you are painting...

Well, finally, it's was nice enough today to shoot some paint on my ugly front end trim. The valance came off pretty easy, but I had to TUG and TUG and TUG to get the upper trim off! Whatever the case, here's the paint formula I used: Washed and dried all pieces in the shower (because of their size) with soap and water. 4 coats of Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter. 4 coats of Duplicolor Flexible bumper black paint 2 coats of Duplicolor Clear Coat. This works VERY well if you have just a little patience. By the looks of it, it should hold up very well.
