ARCHIVE Front bumper build

Nope but I will now you tricky fella

What do you guys thing of a dark grey light textured finish on the bumpers? Like a real dark gray... I want my stuff to be different in all regards. Let me hear your thoughts guys.

Great idea! I have repeatedly looked into dark grey powdercoating options when looking at bumpers. Gets my vote

To answer your question though, black light texture almost like a Line-x texture and in satin.

I think a finish that easily touches up with an off the shelf black spray can would be preferable. I actually prefer something between a matte and full satin. Maybe talk to the PC shop about their experience with rattle can touch up matching. Thx

I like this idea - let us know what the PC shop says.

That said. Looking forward to seeing what your prototype looks like with the dark grey. Pics as soon as you can and I will let you know what I want on mine.

I like the idea of it. I hate black bumpers/wheels. Better yet offer options. Let people choose. Black, bare steel, gray, purple, etc

Time to pony up some cash and buy one ehh man??

Here's some progress pics for you guys. So you dont think I just sit around all day counting all your money ...





Will be out here working probably most of the night trying to get all these (4) bumpers done. Need to get them to powder for my tasteful customers. You guys are great and I thank you very much.

Listening to, for those who care...




This is excellent garage listening material. Check it out if you've never indulged yourself.

Sweet! I like black because of easy touch up.

Instead of powder coating, can you do Linx or monster line? I think they are tougher.

 

[bluecruiser]

My vote is for less texture than more. Not a superfan of texture.

 

[UnderDawg]

The texture is very light and very durable. Sure if you rail the bumper up on rocks and what not its gonna scratch but I doubt most will be wheeling this hard.

What if I drove into a trash can at 35mph? What then?[emoji3]

 

[UnderDawg]

Well then I'd say your an idiot and pimp slap you.
