Okay guys, i was going to get the head lights, but other day i realized how badly i needed bedliner. But im going to have anough money left over i think, to do a do it myself paint job. Im going to do the whole grille, chrome and all. Im not shure but i think the chrome was made on it, it was a package you could get back then. But i need help with materials, what to buy and any tips would be great! THanks for any help.
The entire thing is all plastic so I'll lay out what I've done on my plastics: 1. Clean it up good with some degreaser 2. Sand with 200 grit, then 400 3. Wetsand 800 for a surface that the paint with grab onto 4. Clean up any dust on the surround/grill 5. Hit it with some adhesion promoter (Bulldog works well, as does Duplicolor) 6. Spray a plastic primer with a flex agent 7. Spray your color you want in a light coat (If ptm then Duplicolor or Sherwin Williams will mix up a spray can) 8. Wetsand with 1500 grit 9. Repeat 7 and 8 10. Clear coat (Duplicolor Clear Top Coat works) 11. Let it cure 12. Finish off with rubbing and polishing compoung Hope this helps
^^What he said. I painted mine without doing all that though. I scuffed it real good with Scotch Brite pads. Cleaned it really good. Sprayed it with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promotor, primed it then painted it. I did that almost 7 months ago and it still looks like it did the day I sprayed it. Good luck!
Alrighty ill try, need to buy new camera batteries. Thats why there rnt more pics of my truck lol. This is coming after the bedliner.
