I was wondering how hard it is to remove the painted part of the denali bumper cover in the rear ?

You have the squeeze all of the little black prongs on the lower black plastic bumper cover. Once you get all those out, the big black piece will come off. Then do the same thing for the black bumper steps on top. These three trim pieces are what holds the painted bumper cover on.

The last thing to do is to get the spare tire access hole/key thing out. I don't know exactly how to get this off. It is held on really tight by a plastic retainer and there isn't a lot of space to get to it.

cool thanks, i actually have no spare tire set up at all, my exhaust runs through there, so this sounds a lot easier then i thought.
