Rear bumper and side skirts as well painted in white? Can't tell from the pics. Looks awesome but this is going to be beyond the capability (or expense) of most I am guessing. To have a body shop do this it would be much more expensive than $100. Add a zero.

No I left those unpainted, I think that it would make the truck look too plain in my opinion. But I might consider it in the future.

Paint was around $100. I used 1 pint of paint and still had extra left over. Paint booth rental $75, my uncle who paints carsā€¦. That cost me a burrito and a beer
A burrito and a beer...worthy investment!

Might I ask where did you get the paint? Did you match it somewhere or did you wing it?

Looking to do the same thing with my Area 51 XLT

I took it took an OEM paint supply in east Los Angeles and they color matched it. But to be completely honest, the color isnā€™t going to be 100% accurate since itā€™s going on plastic instead of metal. If your looking to do this I highly suggest bulldog adhesive and a good white colored primer as well.

I don't typically like color matched grille bars but this looks REALLY slick.

The mirrors are subtle but really class it up.

Have you considered painting door handles? I think that's the main thing I want to do when I finally have mine.

I have but on Amazon they have door handle covers. Itā€™s for the ford bronco sport. I might just buy those and paint them white to see if I really like it. Itā€™s a real big hassle to paint the door handles since you have to remove them from the door

Not trying to bash here, but it looks like it already chipped a couple times (lower valance on passenger side & by the head light) does the Bulldog need extra time to cure tough? Also did the texture of the plastic show through? I really dig the all painted look (wife mentioned this is her choice for customization; I want lowering LOL)

Door handles get a lot of use (duh) even from factory it doesn't last and as stated a PIA to remove.

I didnā€™t paint that part. Thats factory paint I only painted the lower part of the bumper, i canā€™t wash the truck for a few days since the paint is still fresh so thatā€™s just some bugs and dirt from driving. Btwā€¦ do both! Lower it and paint the grill!

That looks really good in the white. Not sure it works for every color but in white exceptional. Beautiful job!
