WHITE Z71 VALANCE ! $110! DO IT!

 

[daddy]

I like the look but I have no idea how this guy prepped and painted that thing. I'll pass.

On something that has to take the daily abuse of flying rocks and other debris, I'd prefer to know how it was prepped and painted before spending that kind of money on it. He could have rattle-canned it and I could be stuck with a peeling/cracking valance in very short order.

If I want a white valance, I'll buy a brand new one and have it painted locally by someone I trust.

Rattle can...surely not. Maybe it's a high quality duplicolor paint job.

But tell me a a white z71 valance wouldn't look BFA on there though, you know it would.

I agree. I just worry about white paint on black plastic. I think the chipping might be a tad noticeable.

I haven't decided what I am going to do yet, unfortunately.

If done PROPERLY, sprayed first with an adhesion promoter, then several coats of a filler primer, (sanded in between each coat) it should be fine.

Whatever you do, it has to end up being white though.
