cladding questions

[chrisw2012]

so I have been wanting to paint my cladding for a while now. but first I have some questions. the first questions does anyone have step by step directions on hoe to take the cladding off? I would like to take the side claddings off the front cladding ( bumper cover) and the back cladding ( bumper) so I can clean it sand it down and so forth. next is what kinda paint? I have seen a lot of different kinds of paint that people have used on their cladding but which one would be the best? I don't do any rock crawling or trail ridding but do sometimes find myself in a mud whole or 2. I want to make sure whatever I use I do not end up haven to redo it in a year or 2. and the last question do yall recommend on putting primer done first? thanks for all the help in advance

Prepping is the key to any good paint job. Many preferences for finishes, search this sub forum. GL

yeah that's why I am really wanting to take all the cladding off including the front bumper cover and back bumper so I can make sure I prep it well and not have to worry about taping it off and getting any on the actual truck
