I ordered front and rear bumpers from JCR. Now I'm trying to decide how to finish them. I thought about painting them to match the body.(Patriot blue) It would be the most expensive up front and to repair.

Having them Line-X'd but not sure if it if would look good. It's kind of glossy looking and would make them even heavier.

Powder coat. Not sure but an idea.

I'm leaning towards flat black or a black satin spray paint. Possibly a hammered finish too. It would be easier to touch up if they were damaged/scratched up.

More than anything I'm just anxious for them to get here so I can get them on and mount my KC lights.

 

I would go with something out of a rattle can. Pick the sheen you want. I would probably go with semi gloss black. Easy to touch up and cheap to do. The hammered finish can be tough to touch up.

 

look into using some rim/wheel spray paint. the stuff is strong and holds up better then the standard pray paint.

 

I second the rattle can idea. If you scuff it on the trail or whatever, shake shake shake, like new

 

Semi gloss black from a rattle can.

 

Checkout Rustoleum Textured black or any of the Hammertone colors.

 

harder to touch up. Looks cool, but can turn to crap when touch ups are needed.

 

I used rustoleum spray bedliner. Looks great I think and easily touched up

 

Semi gloss black.

 

Is there any noticeable difference between that and regular paint?

 

I heard that bed liner fades over time because there's no UV protectent in it. I dont want it to fade.

I have some on the hatch on the bottom lip and tag light cover and havent noticed it fade yet though. Then again I dont have something freshly sprayed next to it to compare.

 

Telling ya, wheel/rim spray paint..

 

Use satin black rattle can. STAY AWAY from bedliner...
