Has anyone out there repainted the front air dam black to match the black vinyl molding on the front bumper and door side molding, if so what type of paint did you use and did you use any type of special primer to keep the paint from peeling off the plastic air dam?:confused:

wall-mart has "Fusion" paint for plastic, cant remember who makes it but that is what I used on mine. has only been on for two days so I cant say how long it will last.

no pictures yet. and YES I think it looks alot better. if I have time tonight I will take some pictures, but it is VALENTINE'S day so Idont know if I will or not

well here it is :cool2: :thumb:

well here it is :cool2: :thumb:Thank you very much. It looks every bit as good as I had imagined. I am defiantly painting mine this week.

That would look even better if the chrome part was painted black too... Looks much better that way than with the dumb gray on the bottom though

I had thought about painting it blue to match the truck but I think the black looks good. I hated that grey and when I bought the fog light kit I thought it was a perfict time to paint it before I put them on.

that looks so much better then the ugly gray it came with. i don't know why they would have the one part on the truck that color. they should of made it black or color match from the factory.

Gearhead, Nice work with that air dam. I am assuming that if you put the fog lights in yourself, you also had do wire and control them. Does the wiring harness have unused plugs near the fog lights that you tapped into or did you have to run wire. Did yuo have to add a relay? How do you control them? Seperate switch or do they come on with the headlights?

I had the top and bottom painted black to match. The shop just primed and painted. Holding up great so far.

every thing came in the kit, wire, lights, switch, relay, air dam, hardware, and directions. but the truck already had the wires there. all I had to do was install the lights, plug in the relay in the underhood fuse box, and install the switch. all factory stuff. the plug that plugs into your cargo light plugs into the new cargo-fog light switch assembly, air dam took the longest
the best part is it is ALL FACTORY STUFF :exactly: :cool2:

That is one fantastic looking truck. Did you removed front fender flair, or did you have it painted also?
My truck is black, with black fender flairs. However, they are not painted body color, just a semi-gloss black plastic. Also, what did you do to the grille, replace or paint?
:cool2:

well here it is :cool2: :thumb: Did you remove the air dam to paint it, or paint it in place on the truck?

it was off the truck.

it was off the truck.How much trouble was it to remove?
:thankyou2

I just pulled off the fender flares and buffed the paint. The old grill was cut out and the new installed. I removed the upper pad and the valance. The valance was easy but the upper pad took some time. Its best to remove the entire bumber first.

How much trouble was it to remove?
:thankyou2

not too bad, it took about a 1/2 hour to remove all the plastic two piece pins.
