Lower bumper to paint or not??

[NeverSatisfied]

How is it holding up? I definitely want something that will last and hold up.

So far so good couple years now only spot is where my fog light has rubbed on it but hasn't hurt it

Another thing, if you're painting the air dam to match... smooth it out first! Please! Looks terrible with that texture

Has anyone with a Tahoe or Suburban painted theres? I am talking about the part that has the cutouts for the fog lights / tow hooks any pics of info would be great.

I have since coated it with the bumper black, it got a lot of stone chips.

I thought that might happen. How's your running boards holding up?

No problems with the running boards, they have been holding up for over 2 years, no stone chips. I think the Weathertech mud guards help to protect them.

Thank you for posting that picture and info. I don't really think that will look good on my truck might be too much red going on in the front and I am **** about the paint as it is now I damn sure don't want to be worried about something that will most definitely be hit with rocks.

Now as far as your boards go I like that idea.... do you have anymore pictures?

Does anyone know if they make the deflector in black like the running boards?

 

[Mister H12]

They do make a black one. But its the Z71 style air dam. Or you can paint it black, thats what I did on mine, much better than grey, imo.

If you decide on black, try plasti dipping it. Its flexible so may hold up better to rocks.

Truck is a little dirty but took 2 pixs of the boards this morning.

A buddy of mine was looking at mine (which is gray) and he said that if you take a heat gun to it lightly it will turn black and stay black. He was acting like it was black originally...Were they black and just have faded or were they gray?
