Redid the SRT Front Bumper

Considering whether I chose the wrong profession since I took a day off of lawyering to spray. Haha

Someone stole the fog light bezel covers, and theyre like $80 a pop used... so I ground down the cover mounting holes and filled them in to paint the area black.

I tried a trick I learned on the autobody forums this time. Mixed a bit of color in with the white epoxy primer so it wont look so bad when it chips.

Blacked out fog lights and side markers

Color match is pretty damn close! Fenders match the bumper closer than the factory painted hood matches the factory painted fenders! Haha

How much to paint a truck?

enkeivette 01-24-2013 08:58 AM

Do you have a place to paint it? Are you buying the paint? Full size or mid size? Door jambs?

Also, it would have to be sanded. I dont have the time anymore to sand an entire body.

Not really in my case, paint is too dark and we couldn't add too much to the primer or it would have altered the color.
