Painting the Cladding Black
By Tom R.
Many people were wondering how I completed this project and I want you all to know how it is done. I agree, I do not like the grey. I went to a local body shop where they do paint work. The cost was 160.00 for the bumpers and the sides with the side steps. The job was done in a day and a half. You will find this under the projects by tom. The neat thing is that if you ever have a problem with it you can easily touch it up completly un noticeable with the products shown under the projects for painting the chadling. Print the project out and bring it to the auto body to have then know what you want. Look it up and I will be happy to help you walk through the necessary steps. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Remember to print out the project and take it to your local bodyshop. They can do this very cheaply, if not get another estimate. They will have to just remove the rear bumper, side chadling and side steps. This truely is the best thing I have done on my trac and it looks factory with no scraping or scratching. Also if you ever do scrape the bumper you can easily pick up the one can of spray paint listed on the project and it touches up undetectable. I honestly love it.
