Okay, I just got Rock Lizard's rear bumper and have two choices for colors. I have the Renegade so the flares and rear bumper match in color with the body.

Light Khaki KJ

Powdercoating Black will cost: ~$150
Powdercoating matching color will cost ~$400
Matching color regular paint by Jeep Dealer ~$365


Is anyone skilled and willing to do a photoshop job of my KJ with the Rock Lizard rear bumper on and with the two colors so I can get an idea of what it will look like?

If you go with option 3, is there a good body shop in your area? It'd probably be cheaper. Got a good picture of the bumper the photoshop folks could use to mess with?

Not a choice, but I would rattle can it Black after a nice prep job and etching primer. Would save a bundle and make touching up those trail scratches much easier and cheaper. Then do the same w/ whatever front bumper you end up with. The money saved over painting or powdercoating body color would pay for a winch! :wink:

Getting Rock Lizards front bumper.

Already have a Mile Marker PE 8000 when we did the group buy a year ago. Still sitting in the box waiting.

Ok then you would save the cost of the front bumper then! :wink:
Another option you might look into is that hammer tone paint. I know a lot of folks use it with great results and it comes out looking great and hides a lot of trail rash. IIRC, I thought I read that Marty likes that paint too? (might have been another vendor though)
