ADD front bumper

[Mike T]

Anybody been running an ADD front bumper for a couple of years? curious how their powdercoat holds up. Been looking at a "Stealth fighter", wondering if I'd have to have it recoated before I mount it with a high perf. PC job with primer to make it hold up to rock chips etc better. Nothing stops it all, but good PC instead of mass production helps. A steel bumper with many chips would be a rust prob. after a while. Probably would also re-machine a couple of side light plates with oblong holes to replace the "Stealth fighter" logos machined into them....

Lol. I had the powder coat stripped and did a epoxy primer and then Bedliner. The powder coat they have had a primer under it. As for the stealth fighter plates, I used a 1/8” aluminum and cut it out to fit. I also run it without plates at all and looks pretty good.

had my ADD front bumper on since 2017. bought a can of flat black spray to touch up chips. If I were to do it again Id have the bumper and attached skid plate line-x'd prior to install.

I had mine stripped and professionally powdered to match the black exterior. Wasn't cheap, but I live in the rust belt and I've read too many threads on here about rust problems.

Get it Line-X’d if you like the look, it’s only like $300 if it’s off the truck. Here’s a pic after wiring up the fogs.

my trucks black too, did you do gloss black? How’s it holding up? Appreciate the comments about LineX but not the look I want.

@Mike T Check out my listing https://www.fordraptorforum.com/thr...mper-fox-3-0s-rpg-bump-kit-deavers-etc.83312/

It is in great condition, includes all hardware including the ACC relocate bracket. If you wish, my company uses powdercoating a lot, so I could have a look and see what it would cost to powdercoat it gloss black if that's what you'd prefer.
DM for more info, maybe we can work up a deal if you're interested.

@Codyw Do you have a straight on picture of your truck with the bumper on?
