Arrow Bumper Air Dam Painted PICS!!!

Well after a little bit of frustration and a little bit of elbow grease, I was finally able to paint my air dam. First thing I would like to say is: It's great to have good friends who are there to help you, if it wasn't for my friend Evan, I wouldve probably screwed this up.

Taking off the air dam was a real bitch, the three center clip holders were a pain in the ***. But once we FINALLY got the air dam off, we cleaned it with 91% rubbing alcohol. After cleaning it, we added a coat of adhension promoter. We let it sit for 15min before we started painting it.

After letting the promoter settle in, we started painting.We used Krylon's Fusion Plastic Paint. Now it took a couple of sprays to get the right coat on and making it look clean. The paint dries pretty quick. After we felt that it looked right, we let it sit in the garage over night. Today we installed it back onto the truck. NOTE: I only drive my truck on weekends, it stays in the garage during the week, so it has plenty of more time to settle in. So here's some pics...
