Quick question on 03 Bumper - Land Rovers Only

bullet499 · 02-17-2006, 03:27 PM

I have a 2003 LRD S, and was wondering on the front bumper; can the stock end caps w/o fogs be painted??? I tried talking to the LR dealership parts department, but they had no idea. I saw a couple of threads where people had painted their grilles, but none on the end caps. I know the SE model came with painted endcaps w/ fogs, and they are biasically the same material...so i dunno

Any help would be appreciated. Also, might anyone know off hand a website or list for the 03 paintcodes?? Thanks for any info.

Painting the end caps is probably like painting the soft bumper, I believe it is like a 3 coat process.
You might want to call an auto body paint shop and see what they say.

They can be painted- just have to use a flex agent in the paint and do the prep work properly
