Has anyone blacked out the bumper and skid plate on a Raptor? What did you use?

I used raptor liner on both.

I painted mine Bolder Grey to match the bumper.

What did you guys do about the front sensors? They don't like having too much paint thickness to work properly

2 coats (less than 1 can) of the Primer.
The BaseCoat Color is J7 Magnetic Metallic from AutomotiveTouchup.
I did one coat of the J7 on the front sensors.
2 cans of the BaseCoat J7 (maybe 5 light coats).
Several coats (almost 2 cans) of the clear enamel.
Painted this afternoon and letting paint cure before installing on truck so no photos of finished product yet.

Finished Product:

Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Painted one set, they did OK...acted funky sometimes. Another set did bed liner/rhino liner over, cleaned it off. They just pop out, so now when i do re coats, I take them out. Yeah the little gray shows but I don't have to worry about them randomly locking me down when I'm driving...spiritedly.

Popped them out and used black vinyl on the sensors. Raptor lined the bumper and popped them back in. They work fine.

Plastidip.

I used Raptor Spray on Liner on silver parts and the metal bumper. The sensors are painted with black spray paint then cleared; no primer just scuff and paint with 2 coats of paint and one clear.
I also put raptor liner on the flares, front and back. Also did the rear bumper.
I feel the raptor spray on liner will weather all rocks and debris better than 2 stage paint.

rustoleum premium bed liner on the valence and skid. Primer + matte black + matte clear on the sensors.

Side note, where did you get your grill lights from? I haven't seen ones that fit that well sold anywhere.
