A few weeks ago, I almost sold the 100 (I know, I know). To set things right, and to keep the universe in balance, I've been spending money and time on the 100 - new leather, carpet, bushings, ball joints... soft, fluffy pads and spa treatments. But after she was all clean and shiny, the bumper (and that damn door molding) looked even worse.
The front bumper is one of the 10 bumpers from Dissent Offroad's first batch. And, it's been in the sun since the day it was mounted. Ben clearly did a great job on the powder coating (shocker), but UVs rays do what they do. It was time to give the bumper some love. The goal was to stop the fade and delay having to pull the bumper, media blast and re-powder. Turns out, powder coating responds well to the buffer. Don't know why I waited this long.
I did a quick 3-stage cut-correct-polish, then just a spray ceramic coating. All in, this was a 45 min. effort.
