i am thinking about trying to paint the lower valance on my 4runner black instead of the gray color that it is already. i am going to try to do this my self and was wondering if anyone has a gray lower valance that they might have taken off of there 4runner, because i dont want to mess the only one that i have up. if anyone one has one please let me know what you would want for it.

thanks

 

It'll be hard to get paint to adhere to that plastic and it's best to start with a brand new valance but you might be able to get advice from a body shop. I have a friend that's a paint guy and he says plastic that's been exposed to the elements is very tricky to paint but some have had success using flex agent in the paint but for how long will it stay is the question.

 

well thats what i thinking but i thought maybe i could fin one cheap on here and try it out. besides anything is better than the gray color that come on them, but that just my 2 cents.

 

This is your lucky day, at least I think it is. I was searching on Ebay for fender flares and found this. I think this is what you're looking for.

thanks for some reason ebay slipped my mind.

 

i have sprayed some plastic pools chairs and foglight covers using krylon fusion for plastic, it has held up very well http://www.krylon.com/main/product_t...roduct_details

 

yeah thats what i was going to try to use and them put some cheap wal mart clear coat on top of that.

 

If you want to, i have my 99 limited front bumper. it will need to be repainted---mine is oak, but....just tossing out there

 

got any pics of it and i am guessing that it is silver?
