Finally getting our 04 Sequoia built. Loren at Kreyzfab in Pueblo CO is doing front bumpers, rear bumpers and sliders.

It’s was about a 5 hour drive from Los Lunas.

Now I just need to paint.

Thanks! Now I need to get the lift on asap. The 20 year old suspension is clap out . Planning on 2inch OME heavy springs. Unsure on tire size. Im leading toward 33x10.50. I really like the tall and narrow look.

I originally wanted to use gray steel it for the finish. $35 a can was out of my budget. I used flat smoke gray from rust-oleum. I’m a little unsure about it. It reminds me of primer. I think I’ll either go darker with satin finish or black. Don’t mind my hideous headlights lol!

I might paint the red marked areas for a cleaner look.

I agree! It will definitely look cleaner. I have no experience painting body panels. What would you use to scuff up the paint and prep?

 

[alia176]

that part of the body probably didn't get the final spray coating as the larger body panels did so it might be easy to scuff up using 100 grit sandpaper then use your rattle can.

Finally got around to painting the rear bumper. I used Behr rattle can gloss black. Took about 6 cans. I also painted behind the bumper and added gray door trim to the bumper cover.
