Bored and had a idea for my stock bumper till i can replace it


So i got some
Primer
Spray on bed liner in a spry can
buff pad
sand paper



Taped it off took the turn lights out and ruffed it up and cleaned it and did primer and two layers of bed liner

 

So Coils came in the mail to day!

Going to install this weekend. I have to get some cheap lift shocks wile i wait for my ICONS 2.5 Piggyback's get here!














Also Painted the Toyota Logo Factory color.

 

Like the black bumper front, now you just have to do the rear....

 

How is the rattle can bedliner on the bumper holding up? Looks great so far.
