    tundra.jpg I would like some feedback and photos on doing an off road winch bumper in glossy black powder coating. Pro's and con's, duribility, ease of cleaning, ect... My rims are glossy black w/ milled trim and I am wondering if I should match the bumper.

    I would think glossy black would be easier to touch up and fix yourself. Maybe I’m wrong. If you did something like DIY herculiner that could easily be fixed yourself. Eventually I plan on getting sliders and I’m probably just going to rattle can them Matte or gloss black. Just so that I can touch them up myself.

    Good plan to rattle can sliders. Mine take little bit of abuse and it's nice to be able to quickly touch 'em up........hmmm kinda needs it right now.

    I know it looks nice but I feel like powder coating them is a waste if you’re actually going to use them.
