Painting the plastic

[Bob P]

Has anyone tried painting the lower plastic parts on a 2001 so they match the truck? Bumpers to.

I think it looks great. My truck is black so in spring I'll paint the rest black to match. Thanks.

yes, i have used bumper paint on bumpers and trim, looks good for a year or so , then ya need to touch up, can not pressure wash and got to wash lightly, i should of taken to paint shop as my other trac has painted trim and bumpers and 17 years later they look nice and you can wash and wax.

did my green ST with pro body stuff, did my black 2010 with rattle can bumper and trim paint. PREP is key, prep it right and it will last.. DO NOT rush... you will need a few days to do it right.,

Thanks for your advice.

I sprayed the bottom trim and the running boards with Rust-Oleum bed liner. I think they look good.
