rear bumper facelift

[benlaud87]

I decided to try out some duplicolor bed armor in the aerosol can today to paint the rear trim and plastic top part of the rear bumper. It looks so much better than it used to. The aerosol bed armor was kind of awkward to use though. Its so thick that the nozzle is constantly getting backed up. I was actually inspired by the orange H3 in the german mattracks video of the H3. When I saw their bumper matching the body color I decided I would give it a try. Tomorrow Im going to paint the metal portion of the bumper as close to the solar flare color as I can. I also just had a custom exhaust installed yesterday that you can see the dual exit tips in the picture. Sounds way better than stock.

I painted the rest of my bumper today as well as the rocker panel trim. The color of the paint looked like a perfect match as the top of the rattle can was the exact color almost as the body of my H3. It came out being a little lighter, but oh well. This is only temporary anyways until I get either a THORparts rear bumper or an arb. I was just bored so I figured I would do some painting.

who says you cant paint in the winter? I had to find some way to cure the engine paint, this is the best I could come up with.

I originally used duplicolor bed armor with kevlar but after coming out the following morning I decided to redo the rear trim. It must have been too cold for the bed armor to adhere to the plastic. I used VHT epoxy paint instead. The only piece that had bed armor anymore is the top plastic piece of the bumper, we'll see how well that holds up. For the metal bumper I used duplicolor primer, then rustoleum engine paint. Can't remember which color exactly. I just used the cap as a guide to match it up as close as I could. After a few coats, I lightly misted the bumper with duplicolor clear effex in order to try to create the look of metallic paint. I should be getting a pretty sizable bonus in a month or so. Then i'll be able to do real mods instead of just painting.
