  • ugly plastic bumper and side molding fix - 2006 expedition

    My expediion was looking like sh¡t. The once black plastic had faded to a milky grey and white. I tried all the products that had been recomended and nothing worked. I finally broke down and painted them. Since im on my phone I don't want to type up all the steps now but if anyone wants I will type it out later. Here's some before and after shots.

        Yeah Troy that's the first thing I tried lol it changed nothing. This looks much better. I just cleaned well used wax removed...adhesion promoter and then bumper paint. :)

          Your first problem is thats it's a ford. Jk. I have the same problem on my ram 1500. But it's a work truck so I don't mind. It looks 100% better. Good job on the work.

              SEM Bumper Coat? I used that on our dodge truck. Worked like a charm and has lasted several years.
