Looks gorgeous.

What did you use to rejuvenate the faded black plastic trim & bumpers?

Thanks for the welcome!

The tires look great, they are BF Goodrich all terrain 245 70 16s (doesn’t seem lifted)

My next project is to fix the cracked exhaust manifold, just ordered one from Paul Grant.

On the metal bumpers I used satin black spray paint.
I used wax and grease remover paint prep
then sanded it with scotch brite pad and
then used wax remover again.
Then I did several coats of paint.

On the plastic, My favorite:
Remove them from truck.
Use wax remover then sand with scotch brite pad then use wax remover again.
Then use dupli-color adhesion promoter primer (in a spray can)
Then spray with dupli-color bumper paint, a bunch of thin coats.



I sprayed the beat up white under the headlights and the grille black.
It made the front look brand new. I have to strip my front grille guard next, bought some cool lights for it too.

Yea I agree. The beautiful trim drew my eyes away from them at first.

You did an excellent job cleaning up your truck. Nice job!

FYI - I've found "Mother's Back to Black" works quite well as a quick and easy, although temporary, "fix" for the faded black. You have to re-do it 2 or 3 times a year, but it doesn't take too long. I think I got it at AutoZone.
