Hey guys,
I just thought I'd post a few pictures of before and after painting my bumpers. I am still not done. Still have the grill out. painting that tomorrow. But I think the bumpers turned out quite well. I took them off and sanded/wet sanded them down and then cleaned and repainted. Pretty simple. I will post the final pics when I'm completely done.

Also wanted to add that I didn't paint the trim wrapping around the front bumper. I removed that prior.

Thanks, yup. Good ole rattle can. It was actually color place rust control satin black. 3 bucks a can.
