I bought one off a board member and had it shipped out here, real rough shape, arched along the length, twisted, bent ect so i had to blow it apart and put it back together and had it powder coated, its still a little rough close up and overall i payed more than i wanted to but it had the look i was after for my K20.

I enjoyed the build and i'm sure your going to enjoy the final product! Your one of the few that's been skilled enough to blend and mimic the existing faded look of the original paint, job well done!
Thanks man, it's only trail and error but you have to try to error. I can't paint the bumper it has too much character like the body. The unique cut outs for the safety chains sets off the look. I black stone guarded the back side of it to keep the clean look underneath. Plus it's what it looked like from factory so it has to stay.
