Painted my rear bumper this weekend

After getting my new air compressor I figured I would try it out. I sand blasted and smoothed the welds down some. Straightened it a bit and painted it. The first color I chose was krylon bright steel wheel paint. It looked to fake chrome to me. I went and bought some duplicolor stainless steel wheel paint. And painted it I like that much better.anyway here are a couple pics


Before . Nasty rusty thing




After.

Thanks Rileycarrol. It has a 390 in it. If you live close to or in Oregon there is a 73 or 74 super camper special for sale. It looks all original no chrome trim. They are asking 800 bucks

I would buy that in a heartbeat.. But I'm in Alabama . thanks for the heads up though, awesome price. I have a 73 f100 with a 302, I love it. Its too pretty and a little to light to be used as a farm truck, which is why I would want a super camper. Whatcha planning to do on yours?

Well I plan on paint finish the interior with new carpet and seat from something newer and more comfortable. And I use it for hauling my camper and what ever else I need to haul and just for fun it is more of a stress relief go out and cruise around and open it up and have fun. Good luck on your search for your truck . To bad you aren't closer that truck that us for sale by me is pretty straight and a nice blank canvas to start with
