I have been on a painting rampage the last couple of weeks...So I painted my windshield cowling last week and today I painted my rear bumper cover it was faded and I wanted it to be a deep flat black once again...
Materials I used:
1.) 150 grit sandpaper
2.) Masking Tape
3.) newspaper
4.) Matte Black Krylon Fusion Paint for Plastic & Mask
5.) I used a little bit of Truck Bed Coating on the last spray just to give it some tread...not loving it but it is not slick
6.) Screwdriver for License Plate
7.)Prybar to put masking tape under the cover
I first masked off truck to prevent any paint getting where I don't want to get it. I then sanded whole cover down with 150 grit paper (only sandpaper I had, it wasn't too course though) .. I then wiped it down with wax & grease remover to clean it up. I then let it dry off and painted the first coat very light and then the second coat even coverage all over the cover. I let it dry then put a little bit of the truck bed coating on the top part so it isn't slick.
Dry Time in between coats: 10 minutes
Total time: a/b 1.5 hours
Masking took a good hour, and the painting and drying time. Its all in the prep
Before:
First Coat:
Second Coat:
Final Results:
What do you Guys Think??
