Slick truck. I think color matching the bumpers makes a huge difference. I want to do that to my truck but I'm afraid it wont match up right because the silver is hard to color match. I also really like that lift I think it might be just what the doc ordered for my ride. What do you think?

LOL That's a lot of steps.

I've gotten away with sand, adhesion promoter, primer, sand, paint, clear with an interior plastic piece on my Z. Wet sand paper for any spray drips. Came out spotless and held up.
