Hey guys. I've got an 04 ecsb z71. This weekend, me and a friend of mine painted the front bumper and grill. I was really amazed on how well the paint turned out. I've seen a lot of posts on here about doing that, so I thought I'd try it and it really turned out great. We prepped the bumpers well. Then used sealer and all plastic primer on the upper and lower parts. It layed down nice and stuck on there very well. here's some pics.

Sweet truck. It turned out damn nice. I wish the idiot that painted my plastic pieces would have done a job like that. My paint is allready flaking and it has "fish eyes" Oh it's horible!!! Worst $125.00 I have spent yet.
Are you going to do the back bumper? That would look tight. Sand down the step plastic smooth or fill it with filler and smooth. Then paint the whole dang thing.
Oh yah, is your truck black or that "gunmetal" silver/grey?

It's charcoal metallic. When we mixed the paint, it had blue violet pearl in it. Sometimes you can see a purple tint to it. I plan on painting the bumper. I would like to buy some wheels someday.
