02ws666 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I created a thread earlier last week asking if anyone knew the color to the grey on the bottom of the bumper so that I could paint the BowTie to match. Unfortunately there is no color code for it. Went to Lowes and found a pretty damn good match. Rust-Oleum - High Heat Ultra. Silver Metallica color. This color is damn near exact to the grey, but it does have some metallic in it. Cannot tell a big difference unless you really study both the bumper vents and the bowtie. Once it dried i put a clear coat on it. Rust-Oleum - Acrylic Enamel. Gloss. Crystal Clear. IMO it looks very good and way better then the black i had on the bowtie. Gives the front more of a pop. Wanted to just give my .02 on what i used to get the look i got. Very happy with it. Feel free to move it wherever it needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggs Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like a pretty close match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownguy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like a good match alright, I'm going to be playing the color guessing game myself when I get home. Mine are black right now on an Arrival Blue SS and I want them back to silver especially since I have silver stripes. Im going to paint the stripes on and re-do my inlets to silver. Looking good!

02ws666 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yea the color is almost dead on. It does have metallic in it, but not very noticeable. The clear coat hides most of the metallic. Very happy with the results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks good. I like it. I like the little bit of sparkle these trucks have. No fan of the murdered look at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss2haul Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Looks good! Might try to pick up an extra and give it a try, and save my stocker as is. Edited July 30, 2013 by ss2haul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
