Message:
I see that you painted your lower bumper. I've been trying to do the same, but one of the shops that I went to wanted $350 just for painting and the other one said that the paint would not stick. I read that you sanded the plastic and painted over it. How is it holding up? Is the paint smooth? Any tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, Chris, it was pretty simple. Dodge did it. I took it off, and the dealership paint shop smoothed it and painted it, along with a sport grille I bought on eBay (I had the chrome SLT) and the rear lower bumpers.

Total cost was $180.00, and I have no complaints about the finish. Sure looks better than that cheap-a$$ gray. Save some dollars and remove it yourself (and take out the fog lights... if ya have 'em), and check out the Dodge shop.

Thanks! I really don't like the gray either. I'll be talking to my dealer tomorrow!
