Bumper color?

Anybody have a pic of a mighty max/ram50 with the front bumper painted same color as the truck going to b painting mine can't decide if I want the bumper same color as my truck and have the lower valance black or paint the lower valance same color as my truck and have the bumper black like how most trucks r.my grill will b black also either way thanks

My self I like the different color bumper. Unless it's camo like my truck.

heres a picture of mine, paint was fading away so we painted the bumper and grille

I originally painted the grill and bumper to match the truck and this is what it looked like.

I will probably do the bumper in body color but keep the grill black this time but not sure yet.

Did you use a special black for the bumper? Matte? Semi-Gloss? etc?

Parooze this thread, it has a few pics of same color bumper and truck for viewing pleasure.

powder coat, rock chips make bumpers look terrible. Then put a clear coat for some protection.

I've used this stuff before on small trim pieces, goes on evenly and comes out nice.

They also make bumper coating that might be good for plastic bumper covers because it's designed to flex.

I was thinking about painting the bumper black on my '93 Ram 50 and add clear coat.

be sure the clear coat has flex addtive in it to survive on a plastic bumper, or it will look like it was blasted with a shotgun in short order

I used a regular 2 part automotive clear on by stock plastic bumper, just use some adhesion promoter. It may have had the addative in it, but I never noticed or looked for it directly. Its been holding up perfect for nearly 2 years.

I think I'm going to paint mine black, too. :)

Plastic bumper? They put plastic bumpers on the trucks too?
Need a bumper to push crap out of the way...lol
