what paint to use?

Badger · Oct 11, 2011

I'm wanting to paint the plastic components on my front bumper black to match my truck. The top part is obviously already black but from age has discolored some, so if there is a way to just spruce that up that would be fine. I've read on here a lot about plasticoat. But even all the blacked out rims I've seen are still a little grey looking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can use plasti dip and use some tire shine to give it that shine. I used color match paint to match the color of my truck. either one is good.

To match you will have to get the paint code and buy the paint in spray form...prep will be key...then paint..and finish.

Won't automotive paint crack and fall off from the bumpers flex?

i did the same thing for my ram and duplicolor bumper coating made it look like brand new plastic. two cans did front and rear bumpers, rub strips and my tail lights. i would go with that stuff i was real happy, hope this helps.

I don't think its that faded with plasti dip

When painting plastic with spray paint, your gonna need to use an adhesion promoter so that it will stick.
