Hock's 2012 Raptor Build

Now the question is... Should I leave it raw aluminum or get it coated to match the bumper? Any opinions without seeing the new one on? My crappy MS paint work.

Leave it bare...

It looks good either way you go! A win, win!

I left mine bare aluminum and glad I did that. I am in to mine frequently and the little scratches and dings don't show. Scratches near the frame mount need to be painted.

I say black. Unless you had something else on the truck bare metal, like machined centercaps, etc..

Installed my new skidplate. Planned on Painting it with plasti dip for now and getting it coated with line-x later but dam the plastic dip looks great! I might just remove all the line-x and plastic dip the whole bumper!!!



New flag mount added also.
