Painted Front Fascia and Skid Plate Questions

[MakoRRaptor]

Looking to Paint my front fascia and skid plat and was wondering if anybody has paint matched their front fascia and skid plate to the fenders? If so, what paint did you use?

Thanks in advance!

I used Dupli-Color J7 (BFM0417). I did a few coats after scuffing and cleaning, then followed up with a few coats of matte clear with a final wet sand. Perfect, no. Budget, yes. Would do it again, yes.

I used plastidip. It’s not a perfect match but it’s pretty durable.

My front facial was wrapped in carbon fiber. I then used rhino liner on skid plate.

Love the look of that combo! Also wish I got that color instead of my carbonized gray.

Doesn't look bad at all, might have to look into this option.

I did Line-X spray liner on the lower valance and not the bash plate. I do a bit of off-roading in the rocky south. The bash plate liner would be scratched up and torn off in no time, and look much worse, IMO. I chose a bed liner application because it's strong and won't be susceptible to scratching like paint.

Krylon Fusion 5X for plastic in textured black which turned out to match the dark gray grill & trim EXACTLY! In sheen & color! It shocked me how close! Scuffed up the plastic valance & did 2 coats of adhesion promoter before the Krylon. Turned out perfect!
The skid plate went with Krylon black undercoat, because it’s thick & tough and blacks out u set the truck. Same thing….scuffed it up & 2 coats of adhesion promoter. Rock solid.
Then black sharpie over the silver parking sensors, quick & easy. Did it all in one evening after work.
pics don’t do it justice.
