It states on 4 Wheel Parts website that the bumper ships with black powder coat. Has anyone rocked the bumper strate out the box?
My rear bumper is black and I would've probably painted the front black as well rather than body color.

Troy's looks awsome with the lining, but I don't have spray on connections here in the FTL like I had back in the SLC.

Your expert opinions are welcome.

Thank you.

ALL of the bull bars for the 02-04 AND the 05-07 KJ's Ship with a grey powder coating. VERY simple to re-powdercoat or paint to virtually any color you want.

If it were gray, I would have to paint it. I figured if it came black as the website says, I would just bolt it on. My rear is painted with Rustoleum Hammered, I guess I could hit the front with that.

Would I need to shoot some primer on it or will the Rustoleum stick without prep?

Thank you.

MOST of the ARB's for the cj's and what not are black. for some reason they went with a grey powder coat on the KJ versions. You can rattle can the bull bar just take some sand paper and rough it up first. De-grease it with some denatured alcohol, sand it rouch, 220 grit, don't go to metal, and srpay away.

NOT it will not be as strong as the grey underneath.

I had mine re-powdercoated black. not an issue, very easly to do ontop of exsiting powdercoat as long as it is complete with no rust dings showing.

that way if and when it does ding it wont show grey underneath.

I didn't paint mine there was no need to, it matched the columbia edition trim on the doors, rear bumper, and the rims.
