Painting bumper wings

You guys that have done this, Krylon or Plastidip, how difficult is it to remove the pieces to paint them?

I used plastidip and didnt remove anthing. Just taped a little

Did you do the grill the same way?

All the bumper pieces I left on. The grill, mirrors and door handles I took off

I took all mine off and went with Rustoleum. Simple and it's been durable over the past 2 1/2 years. I used the satin black found at Lowes.

awesome, did you prime them first or just sand a little bit and spray?

I didn't prime or sand mine

Once I had mine off, I cleaned them up and wet sanded them. Cleaned again and spray painted. So far, I can't think of a single chip in the paint anywhere on the truck. I've painted the front wings, rear wings, grill, mirrors, handles, ARB bumper, skid plates and roof. I still need to do a second coat on the roof, but that's easier said than done since I need a nice warm day outdoors with no wind and no bugs. I think we get two of those a year and I'm usually working on both.

With Plastidip DONT sand or anything. The beauty of the stuff is you can peel it off if you want to... wouldnt want sanded silver underneath!

Stuff is DURABLE too. I've done wheels and it's held up for over a year (not sure about offroad though....was a car)
