I just did the bumper chop and added VDP end caps. The only thing is now my stock bumper is all faded and end caps and brand new. I have been testing some paint on the ends I chopped off and just wanted to see if anyone has painted their bumper and or fenders? I have tried cleaning them with everything except 303 cleaner but I cant find any where I live. So do you think painting would work?

 

Glad you posted this. I am interested as well. This is the same reason I haven't done the bumper chop yet.

 

I would bedline them

 

I used flat black spray paint. Looked great. Then I replaced the front and used spray on bedliner on the new front and on the stock plastic rear. Looks even better. Go for it!

 

Spray on bedliner.......

 

any pics of the bumper chop?

i would like to do something like that to my euro bumper but have no idea how it will look and hows the procedure to do that.

thanks

 

There's a write up with tons of pics. Id post one but Im not on the computer right now.

 

I used spray on bedliner after I sanded and primered. Turned out great and used it for a year and a half before I got my XHD.

Actually I'm selling it now if someone doesn't want to put the work in of doing it themselves up here in NorCal.

 

After I chopped my bumper, I painted it directly (without sanded) with a texturized flat black paint. I bought a can in Home Depot and the result was great.

The inconvenient is you have to give it a periodical maintenance depending of the place of you live.

 

try Back to black first
