My 97 XLT is really in excellent shape especially for its age. I've already painted all the plastic and she's looking good. Except the front bumper pad. It looks like the clearcoat is coming off. I was wondering if its something I can repaint and get it to match the rest of the black paint so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb??

 

Sooo...you guys just replace them, I guess?? Lol

 

I used krylon fusion satin black on mine.

 

Did you clearcoat it to help it match better?

 

Nope. No clear coat just painted it let it dry. I didn't what the shiny look to it.

 

Okay. I'm thinkin I might want to so its shiny like the paint. Just hesitant cause I don't want to do it, then hate how it looks!

 

You could always Plasti dip it just to get idea and peel off if ya don't like it. Just a fought.

 

Here is a close pic of bumper pad best I can do of it painted satin black no clear coat.

 

That looks really good! Okay that eases my mind a bit, thanks. Gotta wait for a better weather anyway....this Indiana "spring" is NOT cooperating!!

 

Paint it black but always clear coat it, unless you want white specs on your bumper from rock marks chipping off the black paint. Even with multiple coats, it will happen without clear coat
