painted? You know you can "stain" them black again, right? Looks better, do the bump stops inhibit body rub or is that a concern?

Thanks guys! So far no rubbing at all. They are 30" Goodyear Wranglers, not sure which model Wrangler...off a newer Wrangler.

I got some of that semi-gloss plastic/rubber trim paint at Napa....cleaned em up good and sanded them...they've been painted for about 7 months now and no signs of fade, cracks etc.

Haha yup. I got the 4x4, Sport and 4.0L vinyls off some Ebay store- they've been holding up great for almost a year now.

Just clean them really well with soapy water, and if you sand them- do it with a fine grit paper, they are textured and you don't want to destroy them or scuff them too badly.
